  Designer offshore constructions
  Worked on a 250t A-frame for the Boka Falcon (Boskalis). The purpose of the A-frame is to guide the plough from deck to overboard safely (and back). To fit to the new ship and to lower the 200t plough the existing A-frame was rebuild. We make it wider and added a guidance frame with 10 hydraulic cylinders to damp the roll and pitch. The challenges were to cut and add steel in the existing A-frame and to callculate, design and manufacture the guiding frames in a few months time.
