Conbit is committed to bringing the costs down. Our clients save costs by minimizing the requirements of the most expensive vessels. How does Conbit do that?
The costs for marine spread often determine operating an offshore wind farm cost. One of the governing factors is the required lifting capacity. Conbit finds methods that eliminate large cranes with flexible lifting systems and different approaches to lifting challenges. Decreasing the lifting capacity required on a vessel increases the available vessels and drives the day rates down.
Together with our clients, we try to optimize the project duration by limiting the number of offshore days required to perform a maintenance or modification activity.
Lifting and handling equipment
A dedicated team designs and constructs lifting and handling tools specifically for the offshore wind industry. The design team has all competencies in-house to design your project specific or bespoke lifting and handling equipment. The team starts the design process and covers all phases from construction to commissioning.
Need to modify your substation?
If you need help replacing boat landings, J-tube, or a component over the side, we at Conbit are here to help. We also provide corrective maintenance services for turbines when you need to replace parts.

Unique lifting system for your floating offshore wind farm
Since 2018, Conbit has been developing a lifting system to replace major components within floating wind turbines. This modular lifting system is installed at the WTG (Wind Turbine Generator) when a heavy component needs replacement.

Frequently asked questions
Wind
Do you own vessels to assist you with some of the lifting projects?
No, we do not own them ourselves, but we have worked in simops (simultaneous operations) with all kinds of vessels over the course of years.
We know what is asked of both of us to make the job run as smooth as possible.
Please send us a mail if this didn't answer your question. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Can Conbit perform structural engineering services?

Is Conbit selling lifting equipment?
Conbit originated as an engineering company, which makes us well-positioned to design your bespoke lifting equipment.
However, we are specialized in a few specific pieces of lifting equipment. Those specific sets of equipment can be supplied to our clients.
Conbit has supplied flare tip handling systems, handling equipment to be used in cleanrooms, and general rigging and lifting equipment, such as winches, chainhoists, etc.

Please send us a mail if this didn't answer your question. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Can Conbit certify third party lifting equipment as per EKH guidelines?
Conbit can perform EKH certification of lifting equipment. Typically, we use this capability to test and certify our own equipment to minimize project leadtime.
When you are operating within the Oil and Gas, petrochemical or wind industry we are probably not your ideal certification company.
For clients in the high tech industry, this is different. For high Tech clients, we can perform EKH certification.
