Aquatic Engineering & Construction, an Acteon company, has expanded its team based in Houston.

Bob Terrell joined Aquatic last month as regional manager, while Andrew Blaquiere has moved permanently from the Acteon group to Aquatic as proposals and project engineer. Both will focus on growing Aquatic’s business in the Americas.

Bob Terrell joins Aquatic with more than 30 years’ experience in the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry, with focus on subsea operations, having held roles in business development, sales and operational management.

“I am looking forward to developing and enhancing Aquatic’s global footprint through capital growth and personnel development in North and South America, as well as supporting the development of new and existing client relationships in the region,” says Terrell.

Andrew Blaquiere has eight years of experience in the offshore oil and gas industry. Blaquiere was seconded from the Acteon group to work with Aquatic in early 2015, where he has been providing local customer support for projects in Houston.

“I am looking forward to working closely alongside Aquatic’s new regional manager, Bob Terrell. With a large range of modular equipment at Aquatic’s Morgan City facility, our aim is to deliver the complete flex-lay solution across the Americas region,” says Blaquiere.

Martin Charles, managing director, Aquatic, said: “With two highly experienced personnel leading our business activities in the Americas, customers can be confident in Aquatic’s commercial offering for their flexible product operations. Our global footprint continues to grow, and our investment in the Americas region remains an area of strategic focus for Aquatic.”
