Maritime construction
Maritime construction involves building and maintaining critical infrastructure such as harbors, bridges, piers, and seawalls. These projects often take place in dynamic and challenging environments where precision, stability, and safety are essential. Exail delivers innovative technologies tailored to the complex demands of maritime construction, ensuring accuracy, stability, and operational safety at every stage, enabling efficient and reliable operations from start to finish.
Your TRUSTED PARTNER at every stage
of your maritime construction projects
Operating in dynamic marine environments
Maritime construction sites are exposed to shifting tides, strong currents, and adverse weather conditions, all of which can disrupt operations. Equipment, vessels, and platforms must be capable of maintaining stability and performance under these demanding conditions.
- Exail’s inertial navigation systems powered by FOG technology, provide precise positioning for surface vessels and underwater vehicles. Designed for the harshest environments, they ensure seamless operations for complex tasks like subsea foundation installation and offshore structure assembly, at depths of down to 6000 meters.
- The DriX USVs offer exceptional seakeeping, operating effectively in high seas (>SS5) and strong cross currents. Equipped with advanced sensors and reliable communications, it ensures precise, real-time data collection.
Achieving precision in structure placement
Whether constructing breakwaters, installing pilings, or placing underwater foundations, accurate positioning is vital. Even minor misalignments can result in structural vulnerabilities, making precise navigation and positioning crucial for project success.
- Exail’s USBL and LBL solutions are key to achieving this precision. Our systems provide real-time, reliable data to ensure accurate positioning of underwater assets
- Combined with our subsea inertial navigation systems, these advanced technologies simplify operations, improve efficiency, and streamline workflows, ultimately reducing project timelines
Dynamic positioning and stabilization for safe operations
Marine construction often involves floating platforms and vessels equipped with heavy machinery such as cranes and gangways. Stabilizing these assets during tasks like lifting, piling, and construction is critical for ensuring safety and operational accuracy, particularly in rough sea conditions.
- Exail’s motion sensors are essential for dynamic positioning and equipment stabilization. They provide real-time data on heading, roll, pitch, position, and speed, ensuring vessels maintain a fixed position and heading in harsh conditions, without relying on GNSS. They also help stabilizing critical equipment, ensuring safe and smooth operations in all sea conditions.
Ensuring real-time monitoring and quality control
Continuous monitoring of construction activities and real-time inspection of submerged structures are necessary to verify the alignment of critical elements such as pipelines, foundations, and equipment, detect potential issues, and maintain quality control.
- Exail’s ROVs further enhance inspection capabilities by providing reliable, detailed observations of submerged structures, ensuring efficient and effective operations.
