MSI have successfully completed large NORM removal projects such as cargo tanks and topside installations at sea to prepare for refitting or decommissioning.

Cleaning and Gas-Freeing

MSI uses a combination of high-pressure water (typically heated) and environmentally friendly de-greasing chemicals to clean areas to be repaired to hot-work standards.

Scaffolding

MSI can erect any type of scaffolding needed onboard to obtain access to tank internals or any maintenance/repair item externally on the vessel. We have systems for hull repairs above the water-line and accommodations/engine casings.

SPS Overlay

MSI have completed several SPS installations in order to restore strength to the structure of offshore installations. SPS is approved by all major Class authorities as an alternative steel repair where crop and replace steel construction is challenging to execute during operation (the main deck or hull plating under the water line for instance).

UHP and Grit Blasting

Ultra High Pressure (UHP) blasting with fresh water has almost replaced grit blasting as a surface preparation tool for off-shore use and MSI has 15 years of experience with these machines worldwide. Using a fleet of 25+ UHP machines tailored for onboard use and a staff of over 100 UHP operators, MSI is able to assist with any size of blasting project you may have.

Grit blasting is suitable for many types of project such as preparing areas for SPS overlay or ready scrubbers and filters for speciality coatings like vinyl ester glass flake products.

Coating

Using professional crews with spray painting experience from coatings repairs on over 500 projects, MSI can repair or replace any coating system onboard.
