From concept design to decommissioning across heavy infrastructure markets.
Megawatt Marine delivers concept design of heavy component handling equipment, transport & installation methods engineering, lifting design & execution, major component exchange and decommissioning — across offshore energy, solar, battery storage and heavy infrastructure markets.
Concept Design of Heavy Component Handling Equipment
Purpose-built handling solutions for the most critical components across offshore energy, solar, battery storage, and heavy infrastructure projects. Megawatt Marine develops bespoke concept designs for lifting frames, grillage, upending tools, clamps, and specialised handling equipment. Every solution is engineered against precise site, transit, and component constraints—whether dealing with restricted quaysides and vessel deck limits, or onshore staging areas and ground-bearing capacities—and validated with preliminary engineering and costing to support robust build decisions.
- Lifting frames, spreader beams, clamps and upending tools
- Grillage, seafastening and temporary works concepts
- Load path definition and preliminary structural sizing
- Preliminary costing, build feasibility and route to fabrication
Transport & Installation Methods Engineering
Bridging the critical gap between logistical staging areas and the final deployment asset. Megawatt Marine engineers the methodologies required to safely handle, marshal, and install massive components across offshore energy, solar, battery storage, and heavy infrastructure projects. Megawatt Marine designs the heavy-lift logistics, transit securement, and temporary works required for load-out and transport—ensuring every logistical phase is fully compliant across terrestrial, port, and marine operational regimes.
- Marshalling port layout, load-out and handling methods
- Heavy-lift logistics including high-capacity ring crane integration
- Sea-fastening, temporary works and grillage design
- Compliance across terrestrial port and marine operational regimes
Lifting Design, Planning & Execution
End-to-end lifting assurance, from preliminary engineering design to safe, on-the-ground execution. As a certified A61 Appointed Person, Megawatt Marine produces comprehensive lift categorisations, detailed lift plans, bespoke rigging designs, and rigorous risk assessments. Megawatt Marine provides competent, hands-on supervision for routine, complex, and ultra-heavy lifts—ensuring absolute safety and operational compliance across offshore vessels, port quaysides, and terrestrial construction sites for the offshore energy, solar, battery storage, and heavy infrastructure markets.
- Lift categorisation, lift plans and method statements
- Rigging design, sling and shackle selection, load calculations
- A61 Appointed Person duties and on-site lift supervision
- LOLER compliance, crane selection and ground bearing assessment
Major Component Exchange
Securing the operational lifespan and profitability of energy, marine, and heavy infrastructure assets. Replacing major components in challenging environments requires flawless execution. Megawatt Marine develops lifting plans, logistics, and replacement methodologies for MCE campaigns—from gearboxes and blades to high-risk exchanges on floating offshore energy foundations, battery modules, and heavy infrastructure plant—minimising downtime and protecting the asset.
- MCE lifting plans and replacement methodologies
- Vessel selection, logistics and campaign planning
- Gearbox, blade and major component exchange execution support
- Floating offshore energy exchange strategy and downtime reduction
Decommissioning
Planning the safe, efficient, and compliant removal of end-of-life assets across marine and terrestrial environments. Megawatt Marine engineers reverse-installation methodologies, removal sequences, and staging or site reception strategies for ageing infrastructure. Megawatt Marine accounts for degraded structures, unknown as-built conditions, and the strict waste, recycling, and regulatory obligations that shape complex end-of-life campaigns across the offshore energy, solar, battery storage, and heavy infrastructure markets.
- Reverse-installation and removal method engineering
- Cutting, separation and lift removal sequencing
- Quayside reception, break-down and disposal logistics
- Regulatory, waste and recycling strategy for end-of-life assets
