IKM Testing UK’s New Dedicated Facility

IKM Testing UK have expanded their operational capabilities with the opening of a newly refurbished valve facility at Marywell Commercial Park in Aberdeen.

The 576m2 indoor workshop, coupled with an extensive 2000m2 yard, will provide IKM’s valve division with the dedicated space required to deliver their full offering of onshore and offshore valve management services more efficiently and effectively.

Previously operating from their Westhill facility, the valve team will now benefit from purpose-built infrastructure tailored to their specialised work scopes.

The workshop features two dedicated test bays for hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, alongside a dedicated strip and inspection area, all of which is designed to optimise workflow and improve turnaround times for clients.

The facility supports the testing, refurbishment, sales, overhaul and inspection of all valve sizes, significantly increasing capacity.

As the Scottish distributor for Seetru pressure safety valves (PSVs), IKM is well-positioned to handle greater volumes of work while maintaining its reputation for quality, backed by ISO accreditations and membership of the British Valve and Actuator Association (BVAA).

Barry Summers, Regional Director, commented: “This new facility represents a major milestone for IKM Testing UK. It not only strengthens our valve service offering but allows us to support our clients with faster, safer, and more efficient operations. The additional space has also alleviated pressure on our Westhill base, enabling growth across our service lines.”

IKM Testing UK plans to incorporate an internal valve academy within the facility, supporting the training and development of apprentices and future valve technicians.

By investing in the next generation of valve specialists, IKM is strengthening both their internal capabilities and the wider skills base, highlighting their commitment to training and developing their team and providing further career progression opportunities.
