Doug Whyte, Managing Director at Hydro Group said: “The six-figure investment into the cutting edge technology represents a significant addition to our current capabilities. The new pressure vessel offers a broader range of testing with a more accurate output and helps further enhance the quality and scope of work we provide. Housed in the company’s Aberdeen headquarters, the equipment provides Hydro Group with the ability to design and pressure-test complete cable assemblies built for deepwater projects, particularly for the subsea and defence industry."
Mr Whyte continues: “Evolving our product offering and in-house expertise is paramount to supporting growing client demands. Our team has been trained to offer a complete testing facility and has the internal capability to provide a third-party testing service to the wider market. The new hydrostatic vessel has allowed Hydro Group staff the chance to enhance their knowledge and skillsets while adding to our current products, representing significant growth potential for the company.”
Further expanding its product offering and recent increases to capabilities have meant the creation of new jobs for Hydro Group. Staff numbers at the firm’s Aberdeen base rose to over 100 for the first time this year and projected turnover for 2015 is predicted to rise by 12% on £9 million, thanks to increased development in new and existing markets.
