RVA Group is delighted to announce that it has opened a branch in Singapore. Whilst the specialist engineering consultancy has previously worked on the Asian continent, this is its first operational foothold in the region.

Commenting on the company’s expansion, managing director Richard Vann said: “The Asian economy is vibrant and highly regulated, and therefore offers a number of significant opportunities for us in our core market sectors of chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, energy, oil and gas decommissioning.

“Since our inception in 1992 we have been very carefully planning the expansion of the business and the recent acceleration of our international growth is a testament to the expertise of our exceedingly hard working team. Opening in Singapore reinforces our commitment to enhancing the effective business relationships we have already with leading multinational blue-chip organisations in the region, and we look forward to establishing many more new ones too.

“RVA is dedicated to building knowledge-based partnerships wherever we are working in the world. Our aim is to develop totally safe, environmentally secure, legislatively compliant, cost-effective decommissioning regimes and to achieve that we devise bespoke team structures utilising local knowledge and resources. This approach, coupled with on-site methodologies, is the most effective way of tackling even the most challenging projects.”

RVA is also currently managing a number of complex, high-hazard decommissioning, decontamination, dismantling and demolition projects in North America and Europe.
