We operate across all sectors in the market, but are heavily involved in oil and gas, petrochemical and refining, mining and events.

In the Power Solutions business, we operate in emerging markets as a power producer. We install and operate modular, mobile power plants for both utility and industrial customers and we charge both for providing the generating capacity, and for the electricity we produce.
