Babcock’s operations are well established in both Canada and the USA.
Canada
Babcock has been a key naval support provider to the Canadian government for over 5 years. We first established a presence in Canada with the Canadian Submarine Management Group (CSMG), a joint venture with Weir Canada. As a Canadian ISO 9001 registered company, Babcock employs about 150 personnel at three locations (Halifax, Ottawa and Victoria).
Through demonstration of many years of experience in Weapon Handling and Launch Systems on UK, Canadian and Australian Platforms, complemented by a strong customer focus and collaborative approach, Babcock was awarded the prestigious Victoria In-Service Support Contract (VISSC), reporting to the Department of National Defence. We are also the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the Victoria Class Weapons Handling and Discharge System and Submerged Signal Ejectors.
Access to an impressive heritage in engineering services combined with local expertise means we have a compelling offering. We provide platform design, integration and management services, ensuring complete lifecycle engineering support. Our Canadian team can provide outstanding in-service support solutions in project management, data and configuration management, systems engineering, materiel and supply chain management and maintenance and waterfront support. Additionally, in the area of information management, we have a unique integrated Oracle software suite, specifically designed for naval platform support. We have also implemented a specialist tool that enables true collaborative working; the award winning Collaborative Working Environment (CWE), in use since 2001, aligns our client management ethos with project delivery.
The Babcock team comprises highly qualified and experienced project managers and technical professionals. Our pro-active and efficient services are based upon the principles that have enabled us to become the number one submarine refitting and maintenance provider in the UK and with Weir Canada to be a key repair and overhaul provider to the Canadian Navy. We understand the safety, cost, schedule, performance and quality demands of engineering projects and are committed to achieving the most challenging customer requirements.
