From 3D to reality...
April 14, 2026
After weeks of design work, seeing the parts take shape and come together on the construction site is always a particularly satisfying moment.
Work on the workboat project is underway; more to come very soon.

March 3, 2026
An update on our buoy project: the structural analysis report for the special structures is complete!
In this project, the focus is on crane supports and their surrounding structures, which are analyzed using the finite element method.
This calculation sheet, along with the site plans, will enable the classification society to approve the structure.
The project continues!

June 22, 2025
Once the cutting files have been generated, it’s time to create the assembly drawings. Like a “Lego instruction manual,” these drawings detail each step of the structure’s assembly, ensuring a smooth and efficient build.
A place for everything—the project is moving forward!

Let's get cutting!
January 22, 2025
The transition from virtual to physical is taking shape for the workboat project with the creation of the laser-cutting files.
These files, which are the result of the calculation and modeling phases, serve as the starting point for an optimized production process that combines precision with speed in assembly.

The workboat project is moving forward: a closer look at the system diagrams!
October 15, 2024
While modeling of our workboat project continues, we are simultaneously developing schematics for the main systems: fuel oil, cooling, dewatering, fire protection, etc.
These diagrams provide an overview of the ship’s overall operation and ensure that each system meets the client’s operational needs. They also help us refine the selection of equipment, its placement, and the routing of piping, in accordance with applicable regulations.

A new milestone for the workboat project: the 3D model for production.
September 16, 2024
An update on our workboat project: following approval of the vessel’s overall design, we are now moving on to the next phase with the development of the 3D model for production.
Designed in SolidWorks, this model will allow us to generate:
- The cutting kit for structural components and equipment mounts
- Detailed instructions for assembling these parts
Stay tuned to follow the progress of this project!
