Offshore Access Solutions

From our core values - Design, Innovate & Excellence, our ability to solve technical challenges presented from unusual requests is exemplary. We are, on a day to day basis, continually seeking for new ways to overcome the most complex of engineering challenges offshore.

From providing bespoke access and support solutions to designing temporary access decks to large offshore structures, we are continually looking to innovate our designs by utilising modern access techniques and material.

Due to our experience and exposure in the offshore industry, we fully understand how down time and outage works affects process and cost. We aim to complete our designs with the minimum disruption to our clients and we interface closely with the clients operations teams to fully understand the design brief from the outset.

We seek to value engineer by proposing lighter/stronger materials that can be easily installed with minimum time. Where we can detail a component, or assembly, for fabrication off site we will do so, again to minimise disruption at site level.

We are also fully aware, that whilst some solutions are temporary, they can also become more permanent. In this case we are able to provide the necessary specialist access inspection teams to review the condition of our temporary works so we can control and manage any visible change or decay to the system.

More than just the drawing of pictures, a technical drawing is also a language - a graphical language that communicates ideas and information from one mind to another. Its main function is to communicate all required information from the Engineer who designed it to the fabricators and contractors who will build it.

In its truest form this is still very much the case, however, with the availability of more powerful software and computer processing, the Zenith 3D Modellers and Draughtsmen are required to go beyond that of producing standard technical drawings due to our complex range of services.

We are capable of producing 3-dimensional images that can be used to assist with the structural analysis and reporting of complex shapes and structures. These images can also be used for technical presentations and to explain clearly in one image, an issue that would require several 2D, to translate a message.

Ultimately these complex and advanced images derive from sections and detailing in its simplest form. As well as dealing with plans and elevations, our team work with co-ordinates and point clouds to build up detailed imagery that can be used for advanced engineering assessments.

As well as our advanced 3D modelling and imagery capability, our CAD skill set allows us to detail:

• Complex steel fabrication drawings; Vessels, Gantries, Pipe Bridges, Stairs etc.
• Temporary Works / Minor Fabrications; Bespoke Scaffold, Brackets, Crash Decks etc.
• Lifting and Winching plans; Heavy Lifting, Controlled Loading etc.

In conjunction with our Temporary Works design and modelling capabilities, Zenith is able to offer solutions for complex rigging and lifting projects.

As development members of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association, LEEA, we design and detail bespoke fabrications and solutions to our international customer base.

Where precise control, movement and weight measurement is required we are also capable of designing hydraulic lifting and sliding systems.
