Penspen has underlined its long-term commitment to the north-east of Scotland by opening a new office in Aberdeen. The move to Balmoral Business Park in Altens marks a major milestone in the company’s regional growth and brings together the expertise of Penspen and C&I Engineering Solutions, which it acquired in October 2024.
The new office at Building One, three miles south of the city centre, provides a modern, well-connected base for more than 200 specialist engineers. It supports Penspen’s growing pipeline of energy security and energy transition projects, while also creating space for future expansion. From the new base, Penspen’s team in the north-east will deliver several flagship projects, including: The detailed engineering scope for the HyNet CO₂ transportation pipeline in Liverpool Bay. Hydrogen gap analysis for the Trans Adriatic Pipeline, part of the EU’s Southern Gas Corridor.
These projects reflect Penspen’s dual focus on energy security and infrastructure repurposing to support hydrogen and CO₂ integration — a strategic priority for many of its global clients.
The Altens site will also support the delivery of Penspen’s new training courses on repurposing infrastructure for hydrogen, as well as CO₂ capture and transmission — key areas of focus as the UK positions itself at the heart of the energy transition.
While C&I Engineering Solutions has been based in Balmoral Business Park since 2019, this relocation into a larger, shared facility marks a significant step forward for London-headquartered Penspen.
