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.
Wat onze
klanten vinden
KENC heeft meerdere engineeringopdrachten aan Jumbo geleverd, waaronder een 192 ton Gypsy winch en overboardinggereedschap.
“We zijn erg blij met de prettige samenwerking. KENC heeft ruim op tijd geleverd en de doorlooptijd van het project positief beïnvloed.”
Lead Engineer, Jumbo
“Ik kijk positief terug op de samenwerking met KENC. We hadden goede, open en transparante communicatie en ik heb veel waardering voor hun kennis en vakmanschap als het gaat om het ontwerp en de bouw van zo'n tool.”
Gerrit Jansen, Project Manager, Van Oord
We kijken terug op een zeer prettig project met KENC. Dankzij onze gezamenlijke expertise konden we het werk binnen de gestelde tijd en binnen het budget afronden.
Engineering Manager, GustoMSC
Samenwerken met een extern ingenieursbedrijf zoals KENC; een engineeringsopdracht uitbesteden geeft ons veel flexibiliteit. Wanneer er een uitdaging is op het gebied van het ontwerp, dan zijn zij al bezig met het bedenken van een oplossing. Dit versnelt het proces. Dus in plaats van dat wij met een blanco vel papier beginnen, zijn zij al begonnen met het klaarstomen van hun ideeën.”
Lead Project Engineer Saint-Brieuc, Van Oord
KENC heeft een geïntegreerd hang-off point voor de hydraulische hamer hose bundle ontworpen voor Cadeler’s installatieschip de Wind Ally.
Eersteklas werk, geweldig gedaan! Uitstekende engineering, zeker gezien de beperkte informatie die wij konden aanleveren. Goed georganiseerd en opgeleverd met solide documentatie!
Project Engineer, Cadeler
