About

National Physical Laboratory awarded a contract to A&M Defence and Marine Services Ltd for the replacement of obsolete Felco hoist winches at the Open Water Test Facility (OWTF) at Wraysbury Reservoir.

The OWTF is a floating laboratory for test and characterisation of underwater acoustic transducers, requiring test objects to be deployed at depths of approximately 7 m below the water surface.

The new winches, integrated into the existing steel gantry and anchor points, must be capable of deploying to that depth and 2.5 m clear of the surface when in mounting position.

The scope includes replacing guide pulleys to suit the new wire rope diameter, with the wire rope run following the same path as the current installation.

The winches are located outdoors in an exposed environment and must be weatherproof for reliable year-round operation.

The contract value is £109,728.
