Houghton International completes largest project for leading international offshore services provider

Electro-mechanical engineering specialist Houghton International has recently completed their largest project on behalf of a leading international provider of offshore contract services for oil and gas wells.

A 17 tonne, 4.6MW thruster motor on an offshore oil rig had been severely damaged due to flooding. As a result, a complete repair and refurbishment to the stator, armature, bearings and brush gear was required.

Michael Mitten, Chief Executive Officer commented “Securing this six figure order was particularly pleasing given the level of competition. It required the highest level of specialist technical skills and project management demanded by a blue chip multinational client. It also endorses our £1.5million investment programme to expand our operations facilities and skilled workforce to meet increasing demand from customers in the UK and internationally”.
