This has succeeded in significantly shortening service times and reducing the need to send equipment abroad for repairs, with the associated costs.<\/p><p>HD has undertaken a wide range of projects for energy companies across the country, including routine maintenance and major refurbishments. The installation of a new turbine at was recently completed. <a href=\"https:\/\/hd.is\/en\/innlend-serthekking-lykilatridi\/\">Svartsengi<\/a>, where the specialised technical work, settings and
