infrastructure.
We build oil and gas facilities as well as solar, wind, battery storage and green hydrogen plants, and we see each one through from feasibility to handover. Our headquarters is in Glasgow and we work across the UK, the Gulf and Iraq.

Five divisions, one delivery organisation.
Hydro-C is one EPC contractor covering the whole energy mix. The company was built on hydrocarbons, and that expertise funds our renewable work and lowers its risk. The same engineers run both sides, with the same project controls and safety record.
The proof in numbers.

Five kinds of plant, built under one contract.
We engineer, procure and build solar, wind, battery storage, oil and gas, and green hydrogen plants, each under one contract. Pick a plant to see what goes in, what comes out and what it is built from.
Turns sunlight into power the grid can take.
Problems get solved on site.
In our field, progress is measured in time and quality. Our research is done by the delivery teams themselves while a project is under way, and whatever they learn goes into the next job of the same kind.
Our innovation has a practical aim. We want results that work better and cost less on the next project in the same setting, rather than research done for its own sake.
On the job, not in a lab
Our teams work out solutions on site while the project is being delivered. The research happens on the real asset, within its real constraints, and the operator is in the room while we do it.
Find the obstacle that costs the most
Together with the customer, we look for the operational and structural problems that add most to cost and lead time. Then we go after the ones that are worth fixing.
Design it, fabricate it, prove it
Our engineers and technicians design and fabricate the fix themselves. The result is an actual design and method rather than a recommendation, and whatever works is used again on the next project of the same kind.
Three countries, two on the way.
Our headquarters and engineering centre are in Glasgow. Our commercial and operational bases in the Gulf and across Iraq let us run each project from the same time zone as its site. Türkiye and the United States are coming soon.
