Aberdeen-based technology company Intebloc is on track to achieve significant growth thanks to the launch of its latest breakthrough in offshore safety technology.  

A six-figure sum has been invested in bringing InteCheck™ to the market, a move which is set to open more doors on the international stage thanks to pioneering technology which has already been turning heads in the industry, even before its official launch. It has also prompted an ongoing recruitment drive which has already grown the company’s headcount to eight people, with a further two appointments anticipated by the end of the year.

InteCheck™ is billed as the smarter, safer way to manage offshore inspections, helping set new standards in offshore safety.  The groundbreaking method allows operators to move away from incumbent paper-based systems and spreadsheets to a bespoke digitised, real-time, task-based checklist that delivers complete transparency across assets.

As well as enhancing safety, the system improves accuracy by ensuring reliable data and reduces the risk of human error whilst streamlining operations, minimising downtime and maximising smooth, productive offshore activity.

Award-winning Intebloc has an enviable track record of success with some 80% of the UKCS and a swath of international customers already using its RigWare™ system, the industry’s first real-time digital option specialising in the management of rigging lofts and asset-owned equipment. Launched in 2020 at the height of the global pandemic and with a 100% client retention rate, RigWare™ is a trailblazing, constantly updated package that tackles the challenges of manual tracking, communication and co-ordination in the lifting industry by digitising and automating key aspects thus significantly improving safety, efficiency and asset visibility.

No stranger to innovation and entrepreneurship, Intebloc founder and CEO Ross McLeod has a background in the energy sector and, following Intebloc’s success in the 2018 Net Zero Technology Centre Tech X Pioneer Programme, Ross is now involved in leading the project to help other start-up companies.

Commenting on the launch of InteCheck™, Ross McLeod said: 
“The addition of this innovative solution represents a natural evolution of our portfolio, and our drive to make offshore lifting operations safer and more efficient by combining extensive sector experience with cutting-edge technology.

“It has already received a warm reception from the market, clearly demonstrating the appetite which exists for solutions which enable positive disruption for the betterment of the sector, and the safety of those working in it.”
