Engineering And

Manufacturing Services

Intercontinental Engineering-

Manufacturing Corporation (Intercon) of Kansas City, Kan., of- fers diversified engineering and heavy manufacturing services for marine, military and industrial markets.

For more than 35 years, heavy duty cranes and deck machinery have been sold under the Intercon name to governments and commer- cial customers worldwide.

Intercon's manufacturing facili- ties provide heavy fabrication and machining of weldments and com- ponents weighing up to 150 tons. In- house CAD/CAM, stress relieving, assembly, testing and private barge facilities further support its turn- key capability.

Recent deliveries of twin cranes for seven Auxiliary Craneships (T-

ACS) and weapons handling portal cranes for NAVFAC attest to

Intercon's range of products and ex- perience.

Current military projects include fabrication and machining of pro- pulsion gear casings for the Arleigh

Burke Class Destroyer (DDG-51).

Deck machinery for naval applica- tions include the assembly of verti- cal windlasses for new aircraft car- riers (CVN) and customized deep ocean salvage systems (FADOSS).

The FADOSS System incorporates advanced traction winch design, power supplies, and related line handling and storage hoists. This system is typical of Intercon's in- volvement in unique, special appli- cation deck machinery and material handling equipment. All manufac- turing and quality control activities conform to MIL-I-45208A and re- lated military standards.

Intercon's line of commercial deck machinery includes towing and an- chor handling winches, windlasses, capstans, barge and rig mooring sys- tems, and hose reel assemblies for pipelay and underwater construc- tion.

For the tug/barge industry,

Intercon offers its exclusive Me- chanical Coupler System. This pat- ented system provides a rigid con- nection for pushing, yet allows free pitch motion. Current production involves three complete coupler shipsets including 92-ton reinforced skeg modules which retrofit to barges. Installation work is under- way on M/V Seafarer and the 260,000 barrel barge Ocean 255 owned and operated by Maritrans of Philadel- phia, Pa. Two additional shipsets for Maritrans are expected for deliv- ery in the second quarter of 1993.

The Intercon Coupler System pro- vides unmatched safety, speed, and versatility advantages for articu- lated tug/barge operators.
