The Combifloat C-5 is a versatile modular jack-up platform designed for nearshore and inland marine operations, particularly geotechnical and construction projects. Its modular design enables efficient transport, assembly and customisation, making it well suited to projects in diverse and remote locations where conventional marine equipment may have limited access.
The Combifloat C-7 is a robust modular jack-up platform designed for nearshore marine construction, including jetty and breakwater works, drilling and piling operations. Its configurable design, high deck capacity and extendable spud system make it well suited to demanding projects in deeper port and coastal waters, with flexibility to support a wide range of marine construction requirements.
The Combifloat C-9 is a large-scale modular jack-up platform designed for major marine construction works, including jetties, breakwaters and offshore energy applications. Its high deck capacity, expansive working area and adaptable configuration provide a stable and versatile platform for demanding and complex operations requiring significant space and lifting capability.
