Civil Engineering
Engineering Strength from Sea to Shore
AXTech has decades of experience delivering complex offshore lifting and handling systems.
Our expertise in heavy steel structures, mechanical design, and control systems extends into the civil engineering sector, where the same principles of robustness and innovation apply.
With advanced simulation and calculation tools, we optimise structures and systems to withstand high loads, fatigue, flow forces, dynamic motions, and windloads.
From Offshore to Onshore Engineering
Our foundation in offshore engineering provides direct advantages in complex civil infrastructur eprojects.
Experience from heavy-lift operations, shipyard installations, and integrated control systems translates to proven reliability and precision — from planning to installation.
Marine and structural civil engineering projects benefit directly from this background, combining offshore-grade robustness with civil engineering standards of safety and performance.
The Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre
At Tyholtin Trondheim, one of the world’s most advanced marine research and education facilities is taking shape — The Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre, a joint project between SINTEF and NTNU. AXTech is delivering three of the centre’s most technically demanding systems:
MovableFloors
Two large-scale, vertically adjustable floor systems for the Ocean Basin and the Seakeeping and Manoeuvring Basin – AXTech's largest project to date.
TrimDock Gates
Precision-engineered gates enabling continuous model preparation during testing, even while wave generators are active.
Wave Absorption System
An adaptive structure designed to enhance wave quality and reduce reflection across varying test conditions.
These systems combine mechanical engineering, hydraulics, and control automation to create a highly flexible and precise research environment – demonstrating AXTech's capability in complex civil engineering projects.
