Subsea Engineering

An experienced subsea engineering company

Not all engineering companies can offer expertise in every area of subsea engineering. MintMech is different.

Subsea engineering is a specialised field of engineering focussed on the design, installation, operation and maintenance of equipment and infrastructure used beneath the surface of the sea. It covers engineering equipment designed to withstand hydrostatic pressures of up to 700 bar for ultra deep, all ocean applications, as well as equipment exposed to crashing waves in the splash zone.

There are four categories of subsea engineering:

1. Shallow water

2. Deep water

3. Ultradeep or all ocean

4. Splash zone or tidal

MintMech has proven experience in each of the above categories, including design of all ocean equipment capable of withstanding pressures of 700 bar.

When choosing an engineering partner, it’s important to find a company that has proven experience and engineering capabilities in the category most relevant to your application.

Optimised engineering

You can optimise your design without compromising on cost and quality. Innovation in subsea engineering is often about combining or repurposing proven equipment in new and creative ways.

With the right level of expertise, you avoid the pitfalls of over-engineered products that introduce unnecessary cost, or untested solutions that increase the risk profile of your project.

Whether your primary concern is quality and reliability, risk profile, cost or lead time, we can deliver the optimal solution for your needs. Our philosophy is to provide black-and-white solutions. This means our equipment is designed with ease of use, fast mobilisation and ongoing maintenance in mind, tailored to your needs.

Whether it is a subsea control system or an ROV skid, contact us today to start the conversation for your project.

Pressurised housing avoids over-engineered solutions

We have worked on multiple projects where customers have approached us after being offered expensive subsea equipment, even for shallow water applications.

As engineers with experience in only one category of subsea engineering defaulted to their tried and tested products, they left clients with over-engineered and overpriced solutions.

In one project, we were able to achieve a tenfold reduction in cost with no compromise on quality or reliability, by swapping over-engineered subsea motors for standard motors in pressurised housing.
