Engineering for marine operations

Load, controls and deployment considered as one system.

Each solution is developed around the required pull, cable capacity, power source, structure, handling and real operating environment.

01

Barge operations

Winch systems configured for lifting and handling equipment from working barges.

02

Vessel pulling

High-capacity solutions developed around the vessel, rigging arrangement and required line pull.

03

Field deployment

Power units, lifting points, controls and transport considered for practical use at the site.

Verified marine projects

Three real systems developed for different operations on the water.
