The Bardex® Difference? Our Ability to Tackle the Seemingly Impossible

Bardex engineers bring the highest level of technical expertise to meeting whatever challenges our clients face. Yet, as important as skill and experience are, there’s another quality we believe makes all the difference: an unwavering passion for moving and lifting unquestionably heavy things.

That passion drives us to engineer faster, safer, more efficient systems for shipyards and deep-water mooring. Whether it’s designing a first-of-its-kind solution or adapting existing technology for a new application, Bardex engineers are ready to take on your toughest challenges.

Comprehensive design and consulting services – without the sales pitch
Our multidisciplinary engineering team covers all the critical specialties: civil, electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, structural, and software engineering. Through collaboration – with each other and with our clients – our goal is always to understand the client’s needs, wants, and concerns and propose the best way of addressing them.

Ultimately, we are inventors and problem solvers, not salespeople. Our role is to help our clients succeed.

“We have in-depth expertise all under one roof and are open to any challenge in moving and restraining heavy items – even if it seems impossible. It’s how we’ve developed so many bespoke solutions. That’s definitely a strength of ours and a unique value-add for our clients.”
– Nathan Shaw, Bardex’s Director of Engineering
