17 Jun 2014
Control and instrumentation firm Emerson yesterday broke ground on a new £20 million office and service centre at Dyce, Aberdeen to support the North Sea oil and gas industry.
The Scotland facility is one of a series of new regional service centres Emerson Process Management is opening around the world.

“Today’s ground breaking is the first milestone in the construction of this important new facility which will provide our customers operating in the North Sea with an enhanced range of services and support,” said Emerson Process Management UK and Ireland general manager Stuart Brown, speaking at yesterday’s groundbreaking ceremony.
“This investment demonstrates our commitment to the growing number of large oil and gas installations in the area that will require lifecycle support to keep their operations running efficiently and profitably.”
The facility will support a range of services and solutions from both Emerson Process Management and Emerson Network Power. A lifecycle service centre will support Emerson Process Management customers’ North Sea installations, while an Integrated Operations (iOPs) centre will enable the firm to work with offshore platforms remotely.
The new facility will replace the existing offices located in nearby Kirkhill, Aberdeen, and is one of over 400 services centres Emerson Process Management has worldwide. When fully operational in mid-2015, the facility will have a team of over 150 Emerson personnel.
