Locations : Over the years Hoverwork has operated
in most areas of the world. From Spitzbergen in the Arctic Circle to Easter
Island in the Pacific Ocean and from Venezuela to the Far East. Situations have ranged from Hovercraft operations
over ice to desert locations. Many of the fifty or so Hovercraft contracts have been
in support of seismic surveying for the oil and gas industry, mostly in
the Middle East.
Tasks : Hoverwork's first contract was to provide hovercraft and crew for the Matt Helm film "Murderers Row" which starred Dean Martin. Subsequently most Hovercraft contracts have been more workmanlike in nature ! As well as the numerous seismic surveying contracts other examples include:-
Hoverwork and Hovertravel's year round Hovercraft passenger service to and from the Isle of Wight is backed up by Hoverwork's Engineering Services whose manufacturing facility is situated at St. Helens on the Isle of Wight. As favoured subcontractor to GKN Westland Aerospace, Hoverwork has manufactured six AP1-88 hovercraft as well as carrying out numerous repair and refurbishment contracts on many different types of hovercraft and boats. Specialist Hovercraft facilities such as engine overhaul and testing, propeller overhaul and rotatables balancing to aircraft specification are all available in house. Hoverwork Engineering Services can convert and modify craft to suit specific applications. Please see the Hovercraft types Available section. |
