\u2013 This is an incredibly big and important job. It was started in the spring of 2020 and will continue well into 2022, says Bj\u00f8rn Helleren, head of service and aftermarket.<\/p>\n

Halvorsen has not yet been given permission to name the client. But Helleren can lift the veil a little:<\/p>\n

\u2013 IT'S TALK<\/strong>\u00a0and an inspection job where we will assess the condition of between 40 and 50 tanks and 20 heat exchangers. We point out faults and defects, and report back what needs to be repaired if the equipment is to last another 25 years, says Helleren.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We are incredibly proud to have secured this contract. One thing is that it provides work for so many. But the agreement is also a feather in Halvorsen's cap as a company. That we are chosen as a supplier for such a large assignment confirms that we possess unique expertise in print and temperature technology.<\/p>\n
