AquaTerra Solutions, the rope access specialists for decommissioning and integrity services, has announced plans to invest nearly £3 million in new customised headquarters in Aberdeen.

The company, which was established five years ago by Pete Robinson, Ged Riley, James Grosset and Elaine Pacitti, has enjoyed marked success serving the UK oil and gas industry.

Mr Robinson, director of the company, commented: "Moving to purpose-built headquarters marks the start of a new chapter in the AquaTerra story and signifies our confidence in future growth and achievements as we get ready to expand our team."

Integrated within the new facilities will be a dedicated training and development centre that will help their clients ensure the highest standards of safety and performance in both an onshore and offshore environment.

In further support of its training and development services, AquaTerra last month appointed long-serving fire safety expert Jim Walker as senior instructor for all training modules.
