Celerity3's activities will support the development of an improved range of energy services from Lloyd's Register to clients in the oil, gas, chemicals and power sectors.

Lloyd's Register Capstone has concluded the acquisition of Celerity3 Engineering, an engineering firm based in Houston, Texas.

Celerity3 specialises in design, process and safety solutions and has delivered practical solutions to challenging engineering problems for more than four years.

Celerity3's activities will support the development of an improved range of energy services from Lloyd's Register to clients in the oil, gas, chemicals and power sectors and also with more comprehensive assurance packages to stakeholders in new facility development projects.

Lloyd's Register Americas acquired Capstone Engineering Services three years ago.

The acquisition of Celerity3 is the latest development in a strategic plan to strengthen the Group's specialist capabilities, adding specific expertise in pressure relief and process and chemical engineering to complement the Lloyd's Register Group's range of engineering and technology disciplines.

David Corbett, Senior Vice President of Lloyd's Register North America's energy business in Houston said "We plan to build the Celerity3 expertise into the global deployment of our service packages for in-service, process-facility assurance and we expect many opportunities to present themselves around the world for the business and for our people as we move forward".
