Marine Design & Fabrication
Whether you require bespoke mechanical handling equipment, marine equipment, transportation cradles or jigs or indeed lifting and handling equipment, we offer a truly turnkey service through our dedicated fabrication facility, encompassing design, fabrication, delivery and installation. Our design capability covers all stages of manufacturing including concept, FEED, detail design, non destructive testing and production design. Full CAD support including 3D and FEA.
The site itself benefits from a large external laydown area with a footprint area of 2000m2, with direct access to the loadout quay. This is combined with our own on-site dock facility, which has been specifically designed for the marine transportation of heavy/bulk unit loads by RO/RO (roll-on/roll-off), or LO/LO (lift-on/lift-off) cargoes. This high-end facility enables us to provide clients with an alternative, cost effective and efficient shipping solution for large project cargoes that are unsuitable for road transportation or are bound for foreign markets.
Our large undercover area is supported by two 50Te and one 10Te overhead cranes, alongside a variety of plant and machinery to cater for your needs, from pipe work formers and notching machines, to plasma profiling and drilling machines. We also offer mig, tig and stick welding depending on your specific needs. If required, the facility also supports non destructive testing (NDT) capabilities, with ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, liquid penitrant inspection and qualified CSWIP 3.1 welding inspection. This wide range of services and machinery, all homed in our expansive facility, enables our customers to have their projects met through one central point of contact – providing cost and time efficiencies.
We offer clients the benefits of a 24-hour manned gatehouse with sophisticated computer aided barrier entry/exit systems, CCTV monitoring and mobile patrols, which operate within our fully secure site. Indeed, the site was recently awarded “Secure by Design” accreditation and benefits from 24-hour security (365 days a year), 2.4 metres (8ft) security fencing and CCTV network.
We have experience in house of fabricating a wide range of heavy lift steelwork from small sea fastenings, braces, deck grillages, load spreading mats and lifting beams through to design and outfit of larger more complex mechanical handling equipment. We can do this to our designs, or offer competitive prices for the fabrication and outfit of steelwork to client’s own designs.
