Kleyfrance IN BRIEFCLIENT ORIENTED COMPANY

OUR PRODUCTSOIL & GAS

Kleyfrance has solid experience in the development of a wide range of highly customized winches and hand-ling systems for FPSO, FSU, and pipe laying barges & vessels. We delivers complete equipment packages inclu-ding power and control systems.

Our customers are the prime contrac-tors of major companies. Our projects are in most of the oil theatres world-wide, especially in ultra-deep waters.

Our portfolio includes:• riser pulling systems, either ins-

talled inside an FPSO turret or onto a side balcony

• mooring systems, constant ten-sion/tie-back winches

• linear winches, with capacity ran-ging from 50t to 800t

• specific handling systems, such as spoolers, welding rotators, traction sheaves, etc.

• heave compensators• annular traction winches©, Fiber

Rope Deployment Systems (FRDS)

Systems are motorized by dedicated power and control packages, including electrical packages, and electric and diesel HPUs. Our main applica-tions are FPSO riser connec-tions and mooring, pipe pulling and laying, and heavy lifting & erection.

Linear Winches

Kleyfrance is the world leader in li-near winches. With almost 100 units delivered and operating worldwide, we provide linear winches with pro-ven design, unequaled reliability, and outstanding performances.

Our linear winches can be part of an RPS (riser pulling system) or used for heavy marine/land operations, such as mooring, pipe pulling, and struc-ture erection.

Key features include:• excellent weight/size to load ratio• different layouts and working

positions• continuous or intermittent motion• socket passing• inching control (very low speed)• load limitation

We have recently delivered several li-near winches with the world’s highest capacity: 800T.

OUR PRODUCTSOIL & GAS

Kleyfrance has a long tradition in oceanography, where our innovative and pioneering frame of mind has al-lowed us to develop state-of-the-art deep sea winches and handling sys-tems.

Over the past four decades, we have built long-term partnerships with inter-national research institutes and uni-versities.

Our outstanding equipment provides recognized added value to numerous research vessels throughout the wor-ld, with a portfolio including:• deep sea winches• annular traction winches© es-

pecially developed for synthetic rope (coring, geology, dredging, trawling)

• ultra-clean CTD winches and re-lated handling systems

• drum winches• A-frames, Launch & Recovery

Systems (LARS)• piston corers (e.g. Calypso©) with

auxiliaries and related handling systems (telescopic fork, booms, platforms)

OUR PRODUCTSOCEANOGRAPHY &

RESEARCH VESSELS

Kleyfrance is a key supplier of DCNS, the French leader group specialized in naval defense. We have developed a range of successful antenna winches for military submarines (SNLE, Barra-cuda and Scorpène programs).

OUR PRODUCTSNAVAL DEFENSE & SUBMARINES

8

We have developed several types of winches operating either inside the submarine hull or in immersion out-side the hull. Qualified for harsh envi-ronment (shock, vibration, EMC, etc.), our antenna winches are specially de-signed with high-tech components to comply with military specifications and achieve outstanding performance:• acoustic discretion• EMC• shock and vibration resistance• reliability, availability and maintai-

nability

Naval defense work is extremely challenging because of the strictness of the specifications and the sophis-tication of the required technology. Kleyfrance’s success on naval de-fense projects has contributed to our expertise and proven that we can meet the toughest standards on the most demanding projects.

OUR PRODUCTSNUCLEAR POWER PLANTS

Since the early 1970’s, Kleyfrance has been developing anti-whip so-lutions for nuclear power plants, in partnership with CEA and Areva (for-merly Framatome).

These systems serve to prevent sud-den whipping of steam pipes of reactor cooling circuit. In case of pipe failure, a significant amount of energy would be released by pressurized steam. In this instance, anti-whip systems would act to efficiently absorb this energy, ensu-ring the damage would not be further propagated to the rest of circuit.

Kleyfrance has equipped all French nuclear power plants (58 reactors) and partnered with Framatome, then Areva, in the construction of several plants worldwide, including in South Africa, China and South Korea.

For over 10 years, Kleyfrance has supplied these systems for 3rd ge-neration nuclear plants (EPR), and is currently working on several projects

under construction in China.

OUR PRODUCTSCIVIL WORKS &

WIRE ROPE SOCKETING

The Kleyfrance story started 60 years ago, with the invention of a patented wire rope socketing technique (ancho-rage).

This technique has now many civil engineering applications, such as pre-stressed concrete and suspended roofs, requiring the tensioning of an-choraged wires and wire ropes. Histo-ric Kleyfrance projects with this tech-nology include Saint-Nazaire Stadium in the 60’s, Munich Stadium in 1972, and Teheran Stadium in 1977.

Today, Kleyfrance continues to utilize this socketing technique in several sectors such as:• tensioning of Pylons for electricity

transportation• landing stoppers for fighter aircraft

The Kleyfrance organization reflects our will to provide customers with the highest possible added-value all along the project.

Project organization: a highly skilled Project Manager attends to customer needs and en-sures that everything goes smoothly, on time and on budget.

Industrial chart: in order to bring real added value and achieve excellence, we focus on our core expertise (engineering, project ma-nagement, commissioning and services), and subcontract the manufacturing phases to qua-lified suppliers. This is transparent for our cus-tomer, however, as we entirely manage the interfaces and oversee every aspect of the project up to turnkey delivery.• Engineering is a key point, as our highly

customized and innovative solutions are developed 100% internally. Over 60 years of pioneering activity, we have delivered no less than 250 systems, and have de-veloped considerable know-how in various areas related to our business. Our en-gineering team is split into two distinct yet

closely related engineering offices: one dedicated to mechanical design,

and the other to motorization, including hydraulics, elec-

trics and automation issues. As an in-

novative com-

pany, we hold several patents, especially in relation with linear winches, heavy lifting, and synthetic rope deployment winches.

• Manufacturing of mechanical parts is en-trusted to highly qualified subcontractors, selected for their excellence in processes such as welding, machining, heat treat-ment, and surface treatment.

• Control command systems are developed in partnership with strategic sub-contrac-tors. This includes electrical cubicles (power and PLC), control consoles and HMIs. Hydraulic Power Units (HPU) can be developed either 100% internally or through close partnerships. In all cases, Kley France retains full control, by defining the architecture and regulation loops, es-tablishing detailed specifications, and run-ning functional tests.

• Assembly, commissioning and testing of the equipment are performed by our teams in our 1500 m² technical hall located close to Nantes.

• Worldwide service: as per project requi-rements and logistics constraints, we can readily deploy our organization and teams around the globe. In this way, we can easily deliver closer to customer sites anywhere in the world, and adapt the percentage of local manufacturing and commissioning.

• Worldwide product support and services: our Product Support Office efficiently han-dles all logistics and human issues related to dispatch of spare parts and onsite sup-port. Our site engineers can be mobilized anywhere in the world on short notice for support, maintenance and operations.

They hold all necessary documents to work either onshore or offshore,

(eg visas, medical certificates, BOSIET and HUET training

certificates).
