Project Description

Advanced Mat Systems Inc® was contacted by Chantiers Piriou Shipyard for assistance on the winterization of the L'Astrolabe vessel during construction at their shipyard in France. As the leading experts in winterization we custom designed areas around the the fire monitors to safe access and equipment protection in the extreme environments this vessel would be encountering. They also requested onsite assistance, as such we deployed electrical engineering expertise to guide and supervise the installation of heat trace for winterization, including doors and hatches.
