Henderson Builders are on schedule to complete the new Fleet Refurbishment Workshop at Hareness Place,Altens,Aberdeen.The grit blasting and painting facilities will be double the size of those at the Souterhead Road site and will ensure the UK fleet is maintained to the highest possible standards.
By controlling our refurbishment activity "in house" we will be able to respond quickly to changing priorities to meet customer's needs and maximise the operating life of the rental fleet.The layout of the workshop has been agreed in consultation with the staff who will be based in it and the opportunity is being taken to invest in Plant,such as a sheet metal guillotine,to minimise waste and reduce the time taken to refurbish the offshore containers and tanks.

Swire Oilfield Services has developed a transformer unit (Power Pack) for the offshore service companies in demand of a transformer unit that can even the current produced offshore. The unit has proven to increase the efficiency in projects involving the use of electrical equipment offshore.   Where the demand for stable current is needed the Power Pack unit has proven to be a solution for increased efficiency.

Combining electrical functions with certified lifting equipment Swire Oilfield Services has developed a transportable transformer unit that can be applied in a varied set of applications.
