Motherwell Bridge has opened a state of the art engine workshop and test station to service heavy industrial and maritime equipment for local and Mediterranean clients.

Up to 15 new job opportunities for specialised engine technicians are expected to be created following this €500,000 investment at Hal Far, the company said.

Motherwell Bridge currently has a workforce of 65.

The engine overhaul workshop will provide a range of services, including disassembling and reassembling of engines with precision and quality assurance.

Tools and equipment have been procured from leading German and American manufacturers.

At the core of the installation is a heavy duty Dynamometer to test and monitor the performance of electrical motors, generators and industrial and marine heavy diesel engines.
