Amec Foster Wheeler completes Scopus Group acquisition
Strategic and complex assets designer Amec Foster Wheeler has completed the acquisition of Scopus Group for an undisclosed amount.
Scotland-based Scopus, which employs about 200 staff, focuses on laser scanning, dimensional control and lean engineering and its data is used to engineer piping and structural solutions for the global oil and gas industry.
"This acquisition forms part of our growth strategy by further strengthening our project delivery capability across the upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas sectors," said Alan Johnstone, managing director of Amec Foster Wheeler's Brownfield Projects business.
"The enhanced lean engineering capability will allow us to provide a low-cost solution at the late-life stage of a facility prior to decommissioning."
