More Than Subsea

One skill pointed at whatever is in front of us. The work is usually a machine that has to do a job in a place a person should not be, or cannot reach at all.

Subsea and Offshore

The original home and the bulk of the work. Intervention tooling, in-service repair, severance and recovery for operators and vessel contractors on the Australian shelf, with a diamond wire record running unbroken since 2009.

  • Something that will not release, will not clear, or has stopped sealing
  • Structures at end of life with no removal method in the original design
  • Repairs on equipment the design never allowed to be repaired in service
  • Divers off the job and onto a work-class ROV or a deck crane

Mining and Resources

Automating the job somebody currently does by hand. The page sets out the method and two of the problems it has been pointed at.

  • Manual handling designed out of a change-out task
  • Wear surfaces surveyed and repaired in place
  • Handling for sections nobody lifts twice
  • A phased development with a proposal at each gate

Energy and Renewables

A direct air carbon capture prototype running for CSIRO and Santos. Connection systems for tidal turbines and wave energy machines, and installation and handling equipment for hardware new enough that the method is still being argued about.

  • First-of-a-kind installation and handling tooling
  • Load handling for components nobody has lifted before
  • Proving the method before the campaign rather than during it

Where We Have Worked

Based in Perth, Western Australia, and mobilising from there to the fields. The Australian work is offshore, on the North West Shelf, in the Timor Sea and in Bass Strait. Completed scopes also in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, China, Japan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Libya, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Where to Start

Most scopes reach us as a question rather than a specification, and there is no need to start large. Each of these puts an engineer on your problem within days.

  • A feasibility opinion on what you are contemplating, and what would make it work better
  • A second opinion on a method already proposed, whoever proposed it
  • A FEED on the one cut that worries you, rather than the whole campaign
  • One item on hire with our engineer alongside it

Call the team and describe the problem. We will tell you what we would do about it.
