Hydratight, has set up a major new facility in Concord, California, for operations across the US western seaboard.

The new facility, in theheart of northern California’s oil refinery district, will be Hydratight’s regional hub: a “product supermarket” for the rental and sale of equipment to service power stations, refineries and other industrial facilities across the whole of the western US.

The Concord site, which replaces the company’s Sacramento facility, covers 10,000sq ft and will house all sales, engineering and management functions as well as a fully-equippedworkshop with assembly testing, refurbishing and preparation stations on site.

The building also include full-scale training facilities, so product instruction and information can be offered to customers.

“The 70 mile move to this new, larger facility gives us a more strategic location and larger training facility,” said Rory Abrams. “Customers all over the west coast will have easier access to all our services and we look forward to increasing our rental and training business in the coming year.”

This is the second major facility opened by Hydratight this year. In June, the east coast hub was opened in Somerset, New Jersey, which offers similar facilities to customers across the US eastern seaboard. It also brings together Hydratight operations in Cranford and Flemington to be the new centre of excellent for nuclear products and service.
