JOB TITLE: RNLI Sennen Lifeboat Station
STRUCTURE DESCRIPTION: Turnkey slipway transfer system
LOCATION: Sennen, Cornwall, UK
WORKS: Armada designs and creates a system to effect the fast, efficient relaunch of the RNLI's Sennen lifeboat.

Armada engineers are experienced in designing and building hydraulic systems that perfectly fit the requirements of the project in hand – at sea and on land.

Our professional engineering teams have been involved with many turnkey projects including the hydraulic lifeboat recovery and launch system employed by the RNLI Sennen lifeboat.

The lifeboat is recovered via one slipway and transferred to its launch slip to be back on station. It is vital, as part of the RNLI's work saving lives at sea, that this procedure is robust, failsafe and can be done quickly.
