What RGL does

RGL (Rentajet Group Limited, trading as RGL Services) is a UK-headquartered specialist industrial services provider founded in 1984 by John Twigg and George Gabb, with head office on the south coast of England and additional offices in London and Manchester. The company delivers ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water jetting solutions, operating above 1,700 bar and using water jets traveling at 400–750 meters per second (with abrasive cutting rigs reaching above 3,000 bar), to perform steel cutting in explosive atmospheres, precision concrete hydrodemolition, surface preparation, heat exchanger and boiler cleaning, pipeline descaling, refractory lining removal, tank and vessel cleaning, and underwater pile cutting. Its competitive differentiator is the in-house development of more than 100 bespoke tools and rigs — including programmable cutting rigs, titanium tube cutting rigs, hydrodemolition robots, remotely operated Limpet jetting robots, and N.O.R.M.-contained cleaning systems — designed to solve cutting and cleaning challenges where standard methods fail.

The company's commercial model is project-based professional services delivered on-site at client facilities, with pricing determined per project quotation and contracts structured on a multi-year basis with enterprise customers. RGL serves nine primary verticals: petrochemical and oil & gas, utilities and power generation (including nuclear, wind, biomass, gas, and hydroelectric), water/sewage/environmental, civil engineering, marine structures and offshore, demolition and decommissioning, paint and chemical manufacturing, food and drink, and aviation/highways/rail. The named enterprise client roster spans Shell, Tullow Oil, BP Perenco, Ponticelli, EDF, Crossrail/BAM Nuttall JV, Wessex Water, DBB Jack-Up Services, Bombay Sapphire, DSM Demolition, AR Demolition, Hochtief, Trant, Tradebe, and Lower Reule Bioenergy, with over 80% of revenue from repeat clients and operations spanning the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the United States. RGL is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified, holds Achilles Global Energy Gold and Achilles UVDB pre-qualifications, and is an active member of the Water Jetting Association Technical Committee. In late 2025, RGL was acquired by Veolia UK, integrating its specialist water jetting capabilities into Veolia's environmental solutions portfolio while continuing to operate under the RGL Services brand with General Manager Jamie Ings leading the post-acquisition transition.
