- all under one roof
Discover Our Story
Scaretech is a North East offshore technology company with proven systems, experienced people and a growing track record across the North Sea. Built on the banks of the Tyne, we deploy and maintain the technology the industry demands - and deliver the services that keep installations operational.
Our sensor-triggered mechanical scarecrow device moves, emits alarms and strobes light to deter seabirds around the clock - without chemicals or harm. It's deployed across North Sea oil platforms and offshore wind installations, operating wherever the problem is greatest. Available on a lease and maintenance model, so you pay for performance, not capital hardware.
The same team that deploys the devices delivers the services - trained to the same standard and operating as one consistent, quality-assured unit. We cover guano cleaning, netting, scaffolding, rope access and the full range of specialist offshore services your installation requires.

The Scaretech device is a sensor-triggered mechanical scarecrow - built for the offshore environment. It moves, emits alarms and strobes light to deter birds around the clock, without chemicals, harm or ongoing maintenance.
Already proven across North Sea platforms and offshore wind installations, the device protects structures and reduces the health risks and clean-up costs that come with seabird activity. Manufactured and maintained right here on the Tyne.
We're building something the offshore industry has never seen - a fully integrated training centre on the River Tyne, designed from the ground up to deliver every certification, every ticket, every skill a modern offshore worker needs.
