Aker Solutions is further boosting its presence in the Asia Pacific region with a new workshop for lifecycle services and refurbishment in Thailand, which will support Aker's surface wellheads and subsea tree businesses.

The new workshop replaces two other service bases in Thailand and consolidates Aker's lifecycle services in Thailand under one roof. The new facility, which has a total area of 3 225 sq m, recently opened.

Dave Hutchinson, Aker's president of the Asia Pacific subsea business said, "Aker has invested heavily to support the growth of the Asia Pacific region. This service base is a response to several new orders and recognition of the growing market demand.”
