We’re pleased to announce that ESR Technology is now an official UKTram member, strengthening our involvement within the UK light rail community and creating new opportunities to collaborate, share knowledge and support the sector.
As part of ESR Technology’s ongoing commitment to improving the sustainability of our operations, we continue to monitor the performance of the solar panels installed
ESR Technology’s Safety and Risk Management team is preparing for the upcoming IChemE Hazards 36 Conference at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
Last week, ESR Technology was pleased to welcome two GCSE students for a week of hands-on work experience.
At the request of the European Space Agency (ESA), The European Space Tribology Laboratory (ESTL) has developed the Guidelines for Qualification of New Fluid Lubricants, providing a structured approach to the verification and validation data needed before a new oil or grease can be included in a spacecraft mechanism qualification campaign
September may have marked the start of autumn, but our solar panels were still hard at work. Over the month, ESR Technology’s solar PV system
Helicopter travel contributes to a significant proportion of the risk experienced by workers in the offshore industry. As winds encounter the complex structures of an offshore platform, turbulence within the helideck airspace can occur.
Most people have an intuition that putting a notch in a part weakens it. In some circumstances, a notch can actually strengthen a component, although not usually in a desirable way
The ESR Space team is excited to share that ESA’s Solar Orbiter mission has captured the first-ever images of the Sun’s south pole, an important milestone in solar observation., and ESR contributed to this achievement through its involvement in the spacecraft’s critical instrumentation.
As the global energy sector transitions towards cleaner and more sustainable solutions, new technologies such as hydrogen energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), offshore wind, and advanced battery systems are transforming the energy landscape.
2024 was a busy year for renewable energy across all of ESR’s divisions, and already in 2025 we have a full pipeline of new enquiries on everything from R&D to failures. Here are a few of the things we have been working on.
Our NCT team specialises in bespoke rig design tailored to meet the unique requirements of our clients.

HOIS will hold its second member meeting of the 2026/27 HOIS year this November, kindly co-hosted by Shell and Cenosco in The Hague.
Hybrid lubrication is the application of a viscous fluid lubricant, typically a low-vapour-pressure oil, on top of a thin-film solid lubricant coating, most commonly sputtered molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂).
An important aspect in mechanism design is the selection of the appropriate lubricant for given operating conditions. In the case of fluid lubricants, it is important to understand the lubrication regime a given application will be operating in.
CABARET, ESTL’s own bearing analysis software, having its roots in rocket engine turbopump development (hence its name – Code for Analysis of BeArings in Rocket Engine Turbopumps), has a 35-year history of serving the specific analysis requirements of the European space industry, with the funding and support of the European Space Agency (ESA[M).
This year, ESTL have an increasing presence in ESA’s Final Presentation Days, held at ESTEC. With a total of seven presentations over three days, three at the Gears Workshop on 25th March, and four over the two Final Presentation Days, on 26-27th March.
On 25 March 2026 at ESTEC, ESTL will contribute three sessions to ESA’s Gears Workshop, sharing practical lessons from recent programmes, the scope of our current support for gear system development, and how we plan to expand that support with industry input.
ESTL is pleased to announce that our team will be presenting at this year’s ESA Gears Workshop and Mechanisms Final Presentations Days 2026.
ESR Technology was proud to once again support the IChemE Hazards 35 Conference as a Silver Sponsor, joining over 400 process safety professionals for three days of insightful discussions, technical presentations, and networking opportunities.
This September, members of ESTL and ESR Space attended the European Space Mechanisms and Tribology Symposium (ESMATS) 2025 in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Our teams presented four papers during the conference, now available in full here:
