Our History
Delivering Excellence Since 1986
Milestones That Made Us
What began as a pioneering idea, introducing rope access offshore in the North Sea as a more cost effective alternative to traditional scaffolding access, quickly set new standards as it became a tried, tested and trusted method of access across the energy industry.
From the outset in April 1986, CAN has continued to challenge traditional approaches not simply to work differently, but to work smarter – reducing risk, improving safety and delivering operational success for its clients.
Driven by this approach, CAN’s foundations in rope access and trades based remediation services expanded over the years to meet the challenges of the evolving energy industry, transitioning into the mainstream Inspection & NDT market in the early 1990’s and thereafter the Advanced NDT market, harnessing digitalisation and robotics.
As the Inspection demand expanded, the business evolved to add engineering elements including integrity and inspection management services and vendor assurance, strengthening its capability to support assets across their full lifecycle.
Celebrating 40 Years
April 2026 marked a significant milestone for CAN Group as it marked 40 years in business, celebrating four decades of innovation, care, resilience and excellence within the asset integrity arena.
