Engineering copywriting for Hydro International plc

While working for the Piper Group plc, I was privileged to do the technical copywriting and copy-editing of several product manuals for Hydro International plc. Hydro International designs and manufactures innovative products for the management and treatment of stormwater and wastewater. Working from existing draft documents, technical source material and conversations with Hydro International management, I wrote and editedseveral product manuals for a new overseas licensee.

Adding value to Hydro International's offer

Over the years, Hydro International had created various product brochures and manuals for their vortex technology product range. The quality and scope of these was, by the client's own admission, 'variable'. Furthermore, recent technology developments had led to many products being updated. It was therefore necessary to create three new product manuals encompassing the latest developments and present these in clear, concise English. The new product manuals were much more than just descriptive user guides. Because they contained important information about the company's philosophies and the design methodologies behind the technology, they added considerable value to Hydro's core product offer. The manuals weren't just about the product: they were an integral part of it.
