Decom Engineering Relocates Head Office to Aberdeen
Decom Engineering, a Northern Ireland firm specializing in cutting technology for the oil, gas, renewables, and infrastructure sectors, has made a strategic decision to relocate its head office to Aberdeen. The move aims to bring the company closer to key clients and provide easier access to the skills market in the region.
The company has been experiencing significant growth, with over $2.65 million (£2 million) in contracts secured in the Americas, Africa, and Australia in the early part of 2025. Established in Belfast in 2011, Decom Engineering expanded its operations to Aberdeen in 2022, setting up an engineering, testing, and storage facility at Potterton before moving to a larger facility in Marywell Commercial Park.
Decom Engineering’s expertise lies in supporting decommissioning projects, as well as providing inspection, repair, and maintenance services. The company is currently involved in various infrastructure removal projects in regions like the Gulf of Mexico, offshore Brazil, Nigeria, and Western Australia. In 2024, Decom successfully completed a cutting project for the removal of 30” conductors from the decommissioned Brent Charlie platform in the North Sea.
Nick McNally, Decom Engineering’s commercial director, emphasized the importance of being based in Aberdeen, stating, “With so many clients in the region, it makes strategic sense for us to be fully engaged with Europe’s oil capital. The move allows us to access skilled staff, industry networking opportunities, and key events that will help us realize our full potential.”
One of the key services that will be based in Aberdeen is Decom’s Pipe Coating Removal service, which focuses on stripping steel pipes of multiple coatings to repurpose them for use in construction projects, thereby unlocking their asset value.
Decom Engineering’s move to Aberdeen signifies a significant step in the company’s growth and expansion plans, positioning them to better serve their clients and capitalize on opportunities in the oil, gas, and renewables sectors.
