MARINE
ENGINEERING
Cairndene’s engineering division provide bespoke, innovative and cost-effective products for the marine environment. These products are designed to be robust, reliable and sustainable in order to meet the numerous challenges encountered when working in hostile offshore conditions.
Within this area we also offer an engineering consultancy service to our clients.
As well as designing client requested products, Cairndene also creates innovative solutions to industry wide problems. Our most recent release is Noise Attenuating Piling Shield (NAPS)
Cairndene has developed and patented NAPS — a new form of piling shield designed to significantly reduce underwater noise generated when piling — helping to decrease the impact on surrounding marine wildlife and aid in the granting of development consents.
This product should be of particular interest to the offshore wind industry and those developing greenfield sites in the oil and gas sector.

VIOLIGHT
Subsea operations need good lighting. This is usually provided by high powered (250W and above) white (visible) light emitters mounted on the ROV or the diver’s helmet. Now there’s a better alternative. read more
Design and Development
3-D Modelling & Drafting
Employs the latest 3-D MCAD software assuring accurate part and assembly generation to help reduce prototyping costs as well as aiding visualisation of the product prior to manufacture. Enables a rapid design process for our clients to give beneficial timescales without any detrimental effect on the quality and ability of the product.
Design Analysis
Utilising traditional calculation methods and computerised Finite Element Modelling & Analysis (FEM/FEA) guarantees designs produced meet the design brief and perform in the harsh subsea and offshore environments. Enables, in some circumstances, for physical testing to be reduced with the associated time and cost savings.
Manufacturing & Testing
Facilitating the manufacture of products and ensuring correct assembly and testing procedures specific for the environments they are to be utilised in. Thus ensuring a final check of the product to confirm it’s fitness for purpose.
Engineering Consultancy
Design Reviews
Bringing our knowledge and experience to developments during the design cycle to help ensure that the design teams have considered the requirements of working in the offshore and subsea environments.
Product Improvement & Implementation
Aiding the enhancement of new products for use in harsh environments through the application of our expertise in the development, deployment and intervention on products in offshore and subsea environments.
Manufacturing Processes & Optimisation
Enabling the production of products that can be manufactured, assembled and serviced in an efficient manner whilst ensuring maximum quality of the final item.
Installation & Deployment Methods
Utilising our experiences in harsh environments to assure the first use of a new product is successful for all parties by ensuring an efficient procedures and methodologies are developed while maintaining high levels of safety.
