Products
PCCI’s key technologies include:
Moorings – analysis, design and installation of both temporary and permanent moorings for ocean platforms, from simple buoys to large floating bases. PCCI uses the OPTIMOOR and ORCAFLEX programs to analyze platform motions and mooring leg loads.
Underwater Cofferdams – PCCI engineers conduct finite element model analyses of Underwater Ship Husbandry (UWSH) cofferdams, analyzing weight handling systems, provide operational procedures development services, and develop logistics support requirements for UWSH operations and activities.
Salvage Engineering – PCCI’s salvage engineers and naval architects use the HEC Salvage Engineering (HECSALV) program, often coupled with ORCAFLEX, to analyze and design open ocean salvage lift systems, taking into consideration the dynamic response of the object being lifted. HECSALV is also used for damaged vessel analysis to obtain estimates of projected oil outflow, tidal and weather effects, and damaged hull girder strength and deflections.
Hyperbaric Systems – PCCI has extensive design, engineering, and configuration management experience obtained in the acquisition, evaluation, modification, prototyping, repair, and testing of hyperbaric components and systems including: medical center hyperbaric facilities, Standard Navy Double Lock recompression chambers, transportable recompression chambers, emergency evacuation hyperbaric stretcher system, diver life support equipment, and MK3 lightweight dive systems.
