Stainless Steel ROV Garage design
We completed the detailed structural design calculations and full fabrication drawings for the Garage Type ROV tether management system. This all stainless steel garage is used to deploy Forum Energy Technologies XLX Work Class ROV and is required to operate in severe offshore conditions. The garage underwent successful acceptance and integration testing both in the factory and offshore during sea trials. It is now in operation, withstanding the harsh marine environment it was designed for.
