Salvage Engineering
PCCI uses both the General HydroStatics (GHS) and the HEC Salvage Engineering (HECSALV) computer program to provide estimates of the projected oil outflow, tidal and weather effects on the damaged vessel condition, and damaged hull girder strength and deflections. For examples of projects go
PCCI offers:
24 Hour/7 Days a Week Salvage Engineering Program - PCCI has been retained by fleet owners and operators to provide salvage engineering assessments under emergency conditions 24 hours a day. This involves establishing electronic vessel files at PCCI where they are available to be exercised in emergency and training scenarios.
Salvage Equipment Procurement - Design drawings and operations manuals for fly away deep ocean lift systems, salvage pumping systems, and tow alarm systems
Site Safety Planning - Site Safety Plans for marine operations including at-sea exercises, pollution response and salvage operations.
Drills and Exercises - Simulated casualty HECSALV analysis to facilitate realistic salvage response training for spill managers.
Weapons Effect Test Engineering Support - Stability calculations and predictions, ballasting plans, on-site engineering, and post-test analyses.
Towing Analyses - Analysis for tow planning, pre-towing inspection of rigging.
