ROV maintenance, aluminum skids and subsea equipment

Aluminum skid repair and manufacturing, ROV maintenance and subsea intervention equipment, from design to delivery.

What sets us apart

Aluminum skids: we repair and build them

We repair aluminum skids damaged in operation and build new custom skids. And because we are also an aluminum supplier, the raw material is already in our facility when your order arrives.

Skid repair

We repair aluminum ROV skids and frames damaged in operation.

New skids

We build custom aluminum skids, from drawing to delivery.

Qualified aluminum welding

WPS qualified per AWS D1.2 and aluminum-qualified welders.

Aluminum in-house

We are an aluminum supplier and work together with Profilglass. Raw material does not depend on third parties.

Inside an ROV

Scroll down and watch the ROV come apart

Every part of a work-class ROV relies on a solid frame underneath. That is where Usinando specializes.

  1. 1

    Buoyancy module

    Syntactic foam block on top that keeps the ROV close to neutral buoyancy underwater.

  2. 2

    Thrusters

    Horizontal and vertical thrusters that move and position the ROV precisely.

  3. 3

    Arms, cameras and lights

    Manipulator arms carry out the intervention. Tools and accessories such as hot stabs and plates come out of our machine shop.

  4. 4

    Hydraulics and electronics

    Motor, pump, valves and electronics bottles, held by brackets that must withstand the operation.

  5. 5

    Tooling skid

    Fits under the ROV and carries the tools for each job.

  6. 6

    Aluminum frame and skid

    The base of everything, and what sets us apart: we repair and build them, with aluminum-qualified WPS and welders and raw material in-house.

  7. 7

    Assembled and ready for sea

    Repaired, welded, machined and coated. We hand the equipment back ready to operate.

ROV maintenance

An ROV on deck means a stalled operation. We fix that.

We receive ROVs and skids for maintenance and repair at our facility, with a covered workshop and overhead crane handling.

  • Repair of ROV frames and skids
  • Custom machined parts and tools
  • Qualified aluminum and stainless steel welding (AWS D1.2 and D1.6)
  • Blasting and coating for marine environments
