Marine Innovations
Marine applications; plain sailing all the way
We provide a range of innovative services to meet the structural and aesthetic demands of the marine industry; our expertise in producing high-quality, durable components with specialised finishes positions us as a leading partner.
We provide specialised metal fabrication services tailored to the unique needs of marine applications. From luxury yachts to high-tech submarines, our comprehensive capabilities enable the production of a wide range of essential components and systems.
Marine Capabilities
Diverse Marine Applications
One of our key service areas in the marine industry involves the fabrication of custom parts for yachts. These parts are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, often incorporating our expertise in mirror polishing and electro polishing to ensure durability and resistance to the harsh marine environment. Such finishes are crucial for yacht components, as they must withstand saltwater corrosion while maintaining an impeccable appearance.
We also contribute to the advancement of marine exploration and security through the manufacture of parts for remote-operated vehicles and submarines, including nuclear submarines. These components often require precision engineering and high-quality materials to handle extreme underwater pressures and temperatures. The complexity of such parts necessitates advanced fabrication techniques, for which our state-of-the-art CNC machinery and skilled technicians are well equipped.
Specialised Production Techniques
A significant part of our offering includes power press work, which is essential for mass-producing metal parts with high uniformity and precision. This process is ideal for creating smaller, repeatable parts used extensively in marine vehicles and equipment. These techniques enable us to meet the high-volume demands of the marine industry while maintaining strict quality standards.
Custom Component Manufacturing
Our expertise in metal fabrication allows us to create custom portholes that meet specific design and safety standards. Essential elements of a vessel's structure, portholes not only serve as windows but also contribute to the hull's integrity and aesthetic. The production of these components requires meticulous attention to detail to ensure they are watertight and durable.
We also undertake a lot of surface treatment processes such as electro polishing and mirror polishing. These finishing techniques look good and provide an additional layer of corrosion resistance to metal parts, which is vital for their longevity in marine environments.
Innovative Solutions for Engine Durability
We design and implement paint protection systems for diesel outboard motors. These systems are crucial in protecting engines from the corrosive marine environment, extending the service life of the motors and reducing maintenance costs. This protection is particularly important in saltwater conditions, where corrosion can significantly impact engine performance and durability.
HSM plays a vital role in supporting the structural and aesthetic needs of various marine applications. Our ability to produce high-quality, durable components with specialised finishes makes us a preferred partner in the marine industry. Our innovative approach and expertise in sheet metal fabrication ensures that all our products meet the rigorous demands of marine environments.
