Energy services specialist Well Services Group (WSG) has made a GBP 1M investment in new premises in the UK.
The expansion is a result of increased demand for WSG’s products and technical expertise from clients in the petrochemical, refining, pharmaceutical, alternative, power, and energy services sectors in the north of England.
The company’s Joint Integrity division is based in Cramlington, Northumberland, and provides controlled bolting, flange management, process and pipeline services, and valve refurbishment and supply, to industrial clients engaged in construction, plant shutdowns, and turnarounds.
Double the size of WSG’s previous Northumberland base, the new 1,100 sq m facility includes offices, workshop space, storage and test bay provision, and class rooms for training purposes.
The workshop has a hydraulic torque and tension equipment test bay and a secure 250 sq m yard that has the potential to house a chemical/gaseous storage facility, which will benefit locally based WSG clients and can comfortably accommodate more than 40 staff.
The facility has the capacity to add to the existing 16-strong Cramlington team – not including field staff and there are plans to grow the headcount by up to 25 engineers for major projects.
