In 2021, we received a call from creative studio Newsubstance. They were looking for an old oil rig to transform into an art object, if we could provide that… After several meetings and presentations by Newsubstance, we were really excited and wanted to be part of this amazing, circular project. The project is part of the festival ‘Unboxed’. A once-in-a-lifetime celebration of creativity, taking place across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and online from March to October 2022.

The retired oil rig, called SEE MONSTER, will be a reminder of the industrial past and our journey towards a sustainable, circular future. Sagro Decom is working with New substance’s team of architects, designers and engineers to create this amazing object. The 36-metre tall structure will provide a fun educational place focusing on weather, climate change and green technologies and will have a dedicated outreach team to talk about science, technology, engineering, arts and maths.
