At KENC Engineering, we specialize in mechanical engineering solutions tailored to the demanding offshore industry. From vessel-mounted equipment and lifting tools to hydraulic systems and custom offshore machinery, we design and engineer high-performance mechanical systems that enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability in offshore operations.
With a deep understanding of offshore engineering challenges, our team delivers custom mechanical solutions that integrate advanced technology, precision engineering, and real-world operational expertise. Whether optimizing an existing system or developing a completely new mechanical solution, we ensure that every project is built to withstand harsh marine environments, extreme loads, and high safety requirements.
Offshore operations require mechanical systems that are robust, efficient, and designed for extreme conditions. At KENC, we apply innovative engineering principles and advanced simulations to create offshore-ready mechanical equipment that meets the highest industry standards.
By leveraging Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and real-world testing, we ensure that every mechanical system:
Our expertise in mechanical engineering is reflected in the offshore equipment solutions we have successfully delivered. For instance, in the development of a monopile upending tool for a major offshore wind project, we applied precision engineering and advanced mechanical simulations to ensure smooth and controlled handling. By optimizing the tool’s hydraulic and structural components, we created a high-performance, reliable, and safe system capable of efficiently upending monopiles in challenging offshore conditions.
Another example is our work on the Pipe End Cleaning Tool (PECT), where cleaning efficiency and operational reliability were crucial. Through in-depth performance analysis and material selection, we developed a highly effective cleaning system that ensures a smooth, residue-free pipe surface. By optimizing brush configurations and integrating an advanced dust extraction system, we minimized wear on the brushes and enhanced crew safety. The incorporation of automated positioning technology further reduced manual labor, leading to safer and more efficient operations.
With a deep understanding of offshore mechanical systems, we design and develop innovative, high-performance solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and safety in offshore operations.
At KENC, we provide mechanical engineering solutions for a wide range of offshore applications, including:
We design and engineer custom lifting tools, offshore handling systems, and mechanical structures that play a crucial role in the safe and efficient movement of heavy components in offshore environments. Our expertise spans a range of specialized solutions, including monopile upending tools, pipe end cleaning tools, and noise mitigation systems, all tailored to meet the unique demands of offshore projects.
By focusing on mechanical engineering principles, we ensure that each piece of lifting and handling equipment is optimized for stability, durability, and operational efficiency. We consider factors like load capacity, mechanical wear, and ease of use to deliver equipment that performs reliably even in harsh marine conditions. With experience in designing tools, we develop practical, user-friendly solutions that integrate smoothly into complex offshore operations, minimizing downtime and maximizing safety.
Whether it’s handling massive monopiles or ensuring precise installation of subsea components, our lifting and handling equipment is built to perform with efficiency and precision, ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.
At KENC, our mechanical engineering process follows a clear and structured approach, ensuring that every project is executed efficiently and transparently.
Our process begins with a detailed project kickoff, where a Lead Engineer works closely with you to define technical requirements, operational challenges, and performance goals. Throughout development, we conduct regular design reviews, real-time simulations, and fabrication support to ensure seamless execution.
We combine engineering expertise, advanced simulations, and practical offshore experience to deliver mechanical solutions that work from day one. Once delivered, we continue to support our clients with lifetime technical assistance, spare parts, and operational guidance, ensuring long-term reliability.
With years of offshore experience, KENC Engineering is a trusted partner for custom mechanical solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and performance. Our cross-disciplinary expertise in mechanical, structural, and offshore engineering ensures that every project is delivered with precision, durability, and compliance in mind.
What our
clients say
KENC delivered multiple engineering assigments to Jumbo, including a 192 tonnes gypsy winch grillage and overboarding tool.
“We are very happy with the pleasant collaboration. KENC delivered well on time and made a positive impact on the lead time of the project.”
Lead Engineer, Jumbo
“I look back positively on working with KENC. We had a strong collaboration with open and transparent communication and I really appreciate their knowledge and workmanship for the design and construction of such a tool.”
Gerrit Jansen, Project Manager, Van Oord
“We look back at a very pleasant project with KENC. Thanks to our joint expertise we were able to finalize the work in the target time and within budget.”
Engineering Manager, GustoMSC
“Working with an external engineering company like KENC – getting them to do the engineering on specific equipment – gives us a great deal of flexibility. Whenever there’s a challenge in the design, they are one step ahead with a solution. This really speeds up the process. So, instead of us starting off with a blank sheet of paper, they have already started getting their ideas ready.”
Lead Project Engineer Saint-Brieuc, Van Oord
KENC engineered an integrated hang-off point for the hydraulic hammer hose bundle on Cadeler’s installation vessel Wind Ally.
“First class, great job! Excellent engineering considering the limited information we were able to provide. Well-organized and delivered with solid documentation!”
Project Engineer, Cadeler
