Norwegian multiphase meter manufacturer MPM has opened a new hyperbaric facility at its Forus, Stavanger, plant that will enable it to test its subsea systems for 4000m water depth rating. The company, which started up in 2003 and notched up revenues of NKr230 million last year, described the new test facility as ‘an important step towards lean manufacturing by utilizing on-site engineering resources’.
