TACTICAL TRANSPORTER (TTS)

Developed to carry cargo containers up the Tigress and Euphrates rivers to avoid dangerous roadways the Tactial Trasporter is SYSTEM, not a barge. Using Thrustmaster hydraulic thrusters which can tilt and continue to operate through shallow waters, these barges connect electronically through a DP system. Once underway personel never need get out on deck until they arrive at their destination.

TRANSPORT CAPABLE RV BARGE (RVB)

Talk about your ultimate PARTY BARGE! This RV Barge Concept was run through the U.S. Patent office only to find that there were at least 7 similar patents so the project originator decided to abandon the idea of delivering over three hundred units to marina operators around the U.S.. Still, the concept holds to OUR same idea of developing the model in AutoCAD first, then producing renderings for promotional purposes.

Whether it's 2D or 3D design or digital painting or video animations, we've proven over and again to be a valuable asset to individual clients who haven't quite decided what they want and for those who are not ready to dive into the engineering of their project.

 

One important aspect of MarineImaging is about being able to take a shortcut through the "study plan" stage by constructing dimensionally accurate parts and lofting them into an assembly to help clients visualize the end result. To achieve our goals we offer

• OVERALL FLEXIBILITY
• FAST TURNAROUND
• PROPRIETARY AGREEMENTS
• DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY

• NATIVE AUTOCAD PRODUCTS
• REALISTIC VIEWS
• SITE SPECIFIC REPRESENTATION
• MULTIPLE OUTPUT OPTIONS

Reverse Engineering 3D Concepts

These next two conceptual designs are dimensionally accurate, but currently have no 2D drawings. They were built directly in the 3D program with the main goal being to develop the look and feel of the vessel BEFORE developing engineering and part blueprints. Using the core files we can still reverse engineer and extract dimensioned parts such as the frame drawings at any time if and when needed. (More views available on our Examples page.)

Conceptual Components

For the 30-50 foot open fishers a custom console and leaning post can mean the difference between a day of fun - or hours of hunting for gear and bait. The side hatch allows access to a small day head inside the console and handrails allow a secure walk-around in heavy seas. The elevated gage panel shows engine temp, rpm, and critical systems information at a glance. A live bait tank is placed in just the right position for easy access and double side trays present trolling baits and tackle without having to deal with loose boxes sliding all over. The subsequent 4 pictures from our visit to the Kemah In-Water Boat Show in September indicates other ideas we can work from.

Major Overhaul and Refit Planning

 

After determining that someone had lost the "as-built" blueprints the shipyard owner subcontracted with us to help determine what the owner wanted.

 

We invested several days doing our own measurements and constructed a model of the existing boat, then, re-constructed the areas of concern using our 3D modeling techniques. Providing 2-3 optional layouts per day we delivered them faster than the agent could present them.
