Welcome to e-AquatiCall Back to top
e-AquatiCall is launched at a significant time as we develop local presence in our key markets around the world, ensuring we are able to respond quickly and efficiently with engineering services and solutions wherever they may be. The launch also coincides with our rebranding, new website and new literature, which you can read more about below.   Please feel free to contact me at aquaticall@aquatic.co.uk to let me know what you think and what you would like to see in future editions.

Chris Brooks
President, Aquatic
 
New look Back to top
With the challenge to grow the business and develop new markets in Asia and the Gulf of Mexico (and elsewhere), we needed to review our brand identity in order to ensure it was still fit for purpose.  The analysis from the independent research we commissioned made interesting reading, and from the results, our company vision, values and visual identity was formed.

One of the decisions we needed to make was about the name.   We’ve moved away in recent years from being purely an engineering business or a
  construction outfit; we are most definitely a service organisation, and so it was with relative ease that we took the decision to simply be referred to as Aquatic.

In terms of updated collateral, we launched the new look website last week, www.aquatic.co.uk, and new literature will be available at OTC next week.

Everyone benefits from a change now and again, and Aquatic is no exception.
 
Innovation Back to top
We have added a 40-tonne tensioner (AQTT10A) to our extensive range of powered reels systems and ancillary equipment and significantly, it has already mobilised for a new project in

  the Asia Pacific region.  Our teams need to deliver multiple projects simultaneously, and to enable them to do that, we reinvest a large proportion of our revenue in new equipment and technology annually.  Such is the market demand for the new tensioner, our facility in Peterhead has begun to build a second unit (AQTT10B) for Q3 this year with several more planned for the near future.  We are confident that no other independent supplier in the open market has one, or indeed 2, with the same capability.

Aquatic on the road Back to top
Next week, Aquatic will be attending OTC in Houston, Texas and will be found at Booth 2241.  The conference and exhibition will be attended by Chris Brooks - President, Paul Douglas - VP Sales, Mike Gaskin - VP Projects and David Tibbetts - VP Engineering. David will be co- delivering a paper entitled 'A Novel Method for Coiled Tubing installation' with a sister company colleague from 2H Offshore on Thursday 8th May.   The plans for North America and the Gulf of Mexico are well advanced and Aquatic will be sharing more details of this during the event. Aquatic has commissioned a 1:50 scale model of a typical boat’s back deck, complete with a full suite of equipment; the model will be on display throughout the conference.
