Our Special Projects range and experience is various and includes a broad range of working steel constructions with drive systems.

custom made equipment Many existing ways of doing operations can be improved by developing new and innovative equipment.

Everybody in our company share the needed passion for engineering, creativity and challenges to provide our clients with the best possible equipment in the market.

VNE deliver one-off and custom-built solutions and products which we believe add economical, technical, environmental and safety value to the market’s existing technologies.

We take care of the total process from idea and concept development to delivery, start-up and training.

Through the years we have delivered a range of products that just started

out as an idea or a problem for a customer and turned out to be complete turnkey products.

By working closely with the customer through the entire process from consept to delivery we ensure that they get what they want.

Developing innovative solutions and new techniques is a continuous process for VNE and is fundamental to everything we do. Extensive experience within Custom Made equipment based on steel structures and various system designs makes us able to solve the most complex challenges.

By using as much standard components as possible we reduce the cost and make the service and maintenance easier.

Examples of equipment VNE has delivered:

Pipe ange welding machine at Frank Mohn.

Plant for cleaning and upgrading of used drillpipes for Frank Mohn. The plant transports cleanes, sorts, and upgrades used drill pipes.

Skidding and handling

systems VNE has extensive experience in designing custom made material handling system and different kind of production lines.

Skidding systems

Handling systems

VNE can design and deliver various hydraulic skidding systems for transport of heavy loads. Previous experience covers several deliveries to both onshore and offshore installations.

VNE has extensive experience in designing custom made material handling system and different kind of production lines.

We can design both “Gripper Jack” skidding systems and “Claw” type skidding systems in order to move heavy loads along beams with high positioning accuracy.

VNE skidding systems are designed to adapt different dimensions of flange width and flange thickness on the skidding beams and with capacities for loads up to 500 Tonnes

We plan the entire process in order to make it as efficient as possible and design the handling systems according to the production flow and layout.

Plant for handling and upgrading of used drill pipes.

They can typically include: various transportation, scanning and sorting, milling, grinding, welding, cleaning, painting etc.

Pipehandlingsystem for drillpipe and casing.

Self propelled transportation unit for risers delivered to CCB.

Bulk loading and hose handling systems Effective loading of fluids and dry bulk materials between supply vessels and fixed or floating production (drilling) units are necessary to maintain continuous operations.

VNE`s solutions ensures safe and reliable hose handling even during the most harsh and extreme offshore conditions and gives many advantages compared to traditional methods: Increased safety for equipment and personnel Less time needed for the operation Reduced risk of pollution Increased lifespan for the hoses Reduced need for operating personnel Easy access for maintenance VNE bulk loading stations are certified according to prevailing rules and regulations and can be delivered in various types and dimensions.

Our customers can have standard solutions with small adjustments or tailormade equipment according to their specification.

We can deliver the equipment including HPU or it can be connected to a ring line onboard the platform.

A typical station would be fitted with reels for 4� and 5� soft wall hoses with floating element and for mediums like Diesel, Potable water, Brine, Cement, Bentonite/Barite, mud etc.

Bulk loadingstation delivered to Bideford Dolphin.

The Bulk Loading stations from VNE are suitable for both newbuildings and upgrading/ modification projects.

For replacements of existing solutions, our engineers take care of the entire process from survey to installation.

We do do all calculating and adjustments to existing structures.

Drawing of transportabel hose reel.

Hose Reels In addition to the bulk loading stations VNE can design and deliver various hose reels and hose handling solutions both for transportable and fixed installations.

They can be delivered custom made with a range of drive options, in aluminum or steel, fixed solutions or transportable and made for a variety of different hoses, mediums and lengths.

Offshore Winches ANd equipment All winches are made according to customer’s requiements and in compliance with existing rules and regulations.
