ROSEN USA has announced the expansion of its facility in Gahanna, Ohio, located in the Columbus metropolitan area, to accommodate the growing needs of the energy sector. The expanded facility was officially inaugurated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 14, 2024. Attendees included project partners Turner Construction and Gensler Architecture, ROSEN leadership and employees, and Gahanna Mayor Laurie Jadwin.
Initially opened in 2014, the Gahanna facility is expanding with the addition of a 45,455-square-foot space dedicated to shop and office use. The new infrastructure aims to improve operational efficiency by 400 percent and enhance safety through advanced designs, equipment upgrades, and crane installations. Employee-focused amenities have also been introduced to foster a better working environment.
This expansion solidifies the facility’s role in regional asset integrity support, employing advanced technologies like Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) and Ultrasonic Testing for pipeline inspections. Currently staffed by 68 employees, the site expects to grow its workforce by approximately 35 positions in the coming years.
Strategic Commitment to Growth
Erik Cornelissen, CEO of the ROSEN Group, emphasised the strategic importance of this expansion:
“This move underscores our commitment to driving growth and strengthening our position in this sector. By extending our reach, we are not only meeting the rising demand but also reinforcing our leadership in the market.”
Joel Coleman, vice president of business collaboration at ROSEN USA, highlighted the local impact:
“This expansion is a direct result of our dedication to continuously improving the quality of service to our customers and is made possible by the talent and hard work of our Gahanna-based team.”
The expanded facility is expected to attract talent from the local population and nearby academic institutions, providing stable employment opportunities and career growth for residents. It also enhances ROSEN’s capacity to assist pipeline operators in maintaining energy infrastructure, a critical need as aging systems and climate challenges threaten the reliability of energy supply.
With pipelines poised to play a crucial role in distributing future fuels like hydrogen, ROSEN’s advanced inspection technologies ensure the safety and efficiency of these networks, supporting energy sustainability and innovation.
This facility expansion further positions ROSEN as a leader in pipeline asset integrity, reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and the broader energy transition.
