Offshore accommodation specialist, HB Rentals, a Superior Energy Services company, recently completed a project to design, install and commission a laboratory complex onboard a drill ship.

“We are proud of the work done with this client in Aberdeen in meeting their detailed specifications,” said Michael Bradley, Sales and Marketing Manager, Eastern Hemisphere. “We were able to work quickly and efficiency on this technically and logistically challenging project which showcases our ability to accommodate custom needs.”
