Engineering doesn't stand still, and neither do I

I'll be at Advanced Engineering, NEC Birmingham, 4-5 November 2026, exploring the latest solutions, meeting the people shaping UK engineering manufacturing, and picking up ideas I hadn't thought of yet.

Going too? You can get your free ticket here: https://invt.io/1lxbdy4ck3x

Following last week's post, here's the same base frame back in our workshop and now well into the rebuild.

Before reassembly began, the team laid protective matting across the deck to keep the freshly applied coating safe during assembly.

The 30-tonne electric motor and the gearbox are already in place. Next up is the centrifugal compressor, followed by the auxiliary systems, piping, instrumentation and electrical work that bring the package together.

Plenty of work remains, but steady progress like this is what turns a bare frame into a fully integrated, ready-to-run package.

Stay tuned.

Fabricated, blasted, coated and inspected – all under one roof.
This large skid base frame has just come out of our coating division, finished and ready for the next stage of the build. Keeping surface preparation and protective coating in-house means we control quality, programme and handling from first weld to final coat, without shipping structures off-site.
Here's what sits behind a finish like this:

Qualified people
NACE Level 2 coating inspectors on site, with Level 3 inspectors available

Facilities
Indoor coating area with a 50-tonne crane, fume/paint extraction and adjustable heating
Separate painting booth for smaller assemblies

Shotblast booths
Large unit: 24m (L) x 8m (W) x 6m (H) with shot recovery system
Smaller unit: 6m (L) x 6m (W) x 5m (H)
Media: chilled iron grit, aluminium oxide, nut shell and garnet
Surface checks: blast profile (roughness), salt test and dust test

Application techniques
Airless and conventional air wet spraying
Hot metal spraying
Flame metal spraying with zinc or aluminium wire

Coating inspection & testing
Adhesion (pull-off)
Wet and dry film thickness
Curing
Holiday detection
Pinhole detection

Passivation
In-house chemical cleaning system for alloy materials

From heavy package skids to smaller assemblies, our coating team ensures every surface is prepared, protected, and verified to specification before it leaves Hereford.

An aerial view of three centrifugal compressors being assembled in our new final assembly workshop.
These compressors will support a major carbon capture project. Centrifugal compressors for carbon capture and injection are the workhorse machines that raise captured CO2 from near-atmospheric pressure to the high pressures (often 100–150+ bar, dense/supercritical phase) needed for pipeline transport and underground injection into storage sites or EOR reservoirs. Barrel-type (in-line) centrifugal compressors are single-shaft, multistage machines enclosed in a cylindrical ("barrel") casing designed to withstand high pressure. In carbon capture and injection, they handle the higher-pressure, higher-density end of the process—compressing dry, dense-phase CO2 for final pipeline export or injection into storage reservoirs or EOR wells, typically downstream of lower-pressure stages that handle wetter CO2 straight from capture.

A bird's-eye view of how KGD is growing.

This recent drone footage captures the latest investments we're making to expand our capabilities and strengthen the service we offer our customers.

In the opening shot, on the left, is our new facility extension — built to house additional radiography bunkers that complement those already in operation at our Netherwood Road building. Directly behind it stands our new large-scale package assembly facility, giving us significantly greater capacity to build and integrate complete engineered packages.

On the building to the right, you'll see the photovoltaic array nearing completion. Once live, it will help us reduce both our energy costs and our carbon footprint — a step that makes sense commercially and environmentally.

And we're not stopping here. This is part of an ongoing investment plan, with further facilities and office buildings already scheduled for construction.

Some deliveries need a bit more than a doorstep and a "leave with neighbour" note.

When the courier asks for the delivery address, we send them a compass heading. These crates aren't going through anyone's letterbox — they're headed for an oil & gas site, and yes, that's a full-grown adult standing next to them for scale.

Turns out "handle with care" hits different when the package weighs more than the lorry that's supposed to deliver it.

A couple of photos of a three-centrifuge package ready for shipment into our final assembly building. It will now be enclosed in its wooden crate and begin its long journey to the end user.

Following up on last week's post — here's the pre-assembly of a second large centrifugal compressor now in progress on our assembly line.
