This custom designed “Marine Grade” self-contained winch system provides rapid recovery and placement of a construction barge spud system. This system is used on the Columbia River and its estuaries which are regulated and managed for endangered or threatened species. APPI devised this solution in response to a specific set of customer requirements which required containment of all hydraulic, oil and diesel fluids and to minimize water contamination of those fluids from rain, snow or sleet. The winch system features two winches with rapid reverse (4X inhaul speeds) to quickly set the spuds.
