André Meijer, Managing Director Imtech Marine, comments: “Undoubtedly, a significant factor in Imtech Marine’s selection to provide the HVAC for the Type 26 Global Combat Ship Programme was its efficient engineering management processes developed as a result of our global supply experience. Of particular importance was the experience gained by working with the Aircraft Carrier Alliance to supply the complete HVAC solution for the new Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers. This facilitated the effective transfer of knowledge from the QE Class to the Type 26 programme. “Imtech Marine’s widespread HVAC, CBRN and electrical system integration expertise, combined with its close involvement with the Royal Netherlands Navy and other foreign Navies, provides a thorough understanding of the operating demands made of modern naval electrical power distribution systems and on-board climate control and CBRN protection systems and the complex interrelationships between power supply and consumer loads.” Royal Fleet Auxiliary In 2000 Imtech was selected to fill in the role of electrical system design authority for four Bay Class Landing Ship Dock (LSD(A)) Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels and has expanded its UK activities ever since. Over the past decade Imtech Marine has been involved in the supply of platform electrical systems for several UK Naval programmes. This has included the LSD(A) whole ship solution - including the electrical installation, and the steering and dive control systems for three Astute Submarines. Additionally, the company was selected to supply the HVAC system for the two QE Class Aircraft Carriers currently under construction in Rosyth and the Integrated Bridge and Platform Management Systems for three Khareef Class Corvettes recently completed by BAE Systems in Portsmouth. In addition to this, Imtech has built up major experience in the global navy market, with close partnerships with the Dutch and German Navy and implementing technology solutions at several navies around the world.
