It now has more than 500 staff and is mostly engaged in the engineering, construction, and retrofit of living accommodation, equipment rooms, and utility modules.
The firm has operations across Europe, the Middle East, and Caspian – and recently celebrated contract awards worth £25 million for technical buildings and living quarters in Azerbaijan and Saudi Arabia.
The company hopes to regrow its presence in the UK market following the completion of a major upgrade to the Wellsafe Guardian, the MODU owned by Aberdeen based decommissioning experts Wellsafe.
Other contract wins in Norway and in West Africa have strengthened the company’s presence back in Aberdeen – where staff numbers have increased in the past 12 months.
Brian Knowles, Modutec managing director, said: “Our Aberdeen-based operation has been busy re-establishing the company in the past 24 months.
“The acquisition of Avantis earlier this month will also form part of the new Modutec company and will enhance our UK-based engineering capacity significantly.
“With offshore utilities being our core offering, adding an energy performance and environmental technologies company will be a crucial part of our proposition going forward.”
