While the majority of systems we build are based on our existing, proven designs, we also are engaged in developing ideas alongside clients to deliver systems customized for their specific needs. In those cases, we abide by the following process:
Define Project
A potential client approaches us with a specific design-and-build project in mind or simply with a system in need of optimization.
Interface Meetings
We review the client’s current operation, seek staff input and create initial sketches, drawing from experience on past projects
Proposal/Approval
We write a formal proposal, which acts as a narrative on the specific services we will provide. The overview may include photos and optional concepts. We implement any necessary changes based on feedback and, if selected, begin work on project.
Production
Fully detailed drawings are finalized and all necessary building components are gathered. Then, the system is created.
Testing
We write our own factory acceptance test, which test the limits of each system. The client is invited to view the test for input.
Stella Maris on the Move
Stella Maris recently relocated to newly built headquarters, marking a major expansion of its manufacturing facility in Lafayette, Louisiana. The new expanded facility has tripled our footprint to a total of 22,000 square feet.
Engineering Services
We have the capacity to design and build customized systems that cater to your subsea operation’s specific needs — from hydraulic power units to a variety of user-friendly control systems. We also provide local or on-site testing that ensures proper functionality for seamless integration.
Project Profile: Cross
What follows is an abbreviated project profile on Stella Maris' custom-designed IWOCS HPU, 5k/10k Unit, which was custom-designed for Cross Solutions.
