Complete product delivery

One product. From concept to handover.

Start with an established design or develop a new arrangement. The operating task, site conditions and delivery requirements guide the solution.

01

Requirements & product concept

Establish the task, location and operating conditions, then select or develop the right vessel or platform.

Operating requirements · options · general arrangement
02

Design & construction

Translate the requirement into a product design and bring its structure, equipment and systems together.

03

Transport & delivery

Plan the transport, assembly and handover around the product and its destination.

Modular systems

Transport in sections. Work as one platform.

A modular floating structure combines separate watertight units through designed connections. A larger working platform can reach its location as smaller transportable sections.

The module size, connections and assembly method are designed for the project. Transport access and structural requirements shape the arrangement.

Separate modules → connected arrangement → working platform. Concept illustration; the actual arrangement is project specific.
  1. 01

    Define the modules

    Set the arrangement around the task, loads and transport constraints.

  2. 02

    Move the sections

    Choose a land or water route suited to the modules and access conditions.

  3. 03

    Assemble at site

    Connect the modules on land or afloat, according to the project plan.

  4. 04

    Prepare for operation

    Complete interfaces, system integration and the required project checks.

Applications include working barges, piling and survey platforms, and floating jetties. Structural strength, stability, connections and operating conditions determine suitability.
Transport explained

How vessels and platforms reach the site.

First establish what moves: separate modules, larger sections or a complete unit. Then choose the route and handling method. Modular and conventional structures can each use more than one transport mode.

01

Over land

Modules or sections travel by truck or trailer. Smaller complete units can also move by road where their size and the route allow.

Key considerations: dimensions, weight, route and site access.
02

Aboard a carrier

Modules, sections or complete units are carried on a ship or barge. Loading may use lifting, roll-on or float-on methods, depending on the cargo and carrier.

Key considerations: carrying capacity, handling method and terminal facilities.
03

Afloat

A complete floating unit can be towed by a tug. A self-propelled vessel can travel under its own power when suitable for the voyage.

Key considerations: stability, draught, voyage conditions and weather.
04

Combined land & sea

Land transport, carriage and towage can be combined across the journey, with transfer and assembly at suitable locations.

Key considerations: transfer interfaces, handling facilities and final access.

Illustrations explain transport principles. The actual method depends on the unit and project conditions.

Digital engineering

Compare configurations around the requirement.

Parametric platform development connects the requirement, model and early technical definition to support option review.

Working together

Start with the mission and the constraints.

The operating task, location, payload, water depth and transport access establish the starting point. Existing drawings or reference material can help define the brief.

Discuss your project →
01

Define the brief

Agree the operating objective and key constraints.

02

Review the options

Compare feasible arrangements, equipment and transport routes.

03

Agree the product & delivery plan

Agree the product arrangement, delivery route and next steps.
