Structural Overload Tests
We carry out extensive structural overload tests at our Delta factory for craft that are davit launched, and recovered from and to a mother ship. During these tests, the craft will be overloaded well beyond the forces that they will experience in service. These tests confirm the robust build of Delta’s exclusive range of Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats
Delta Sea Trials
All Delta craft undergo rigorous sea trials in UK waters in order to ensure that a craft is suitable for its intended application, as it is tested above and beyond its requirements.
Each boat produced is also tested to be sure that contractual obligations have been met and to be in line, where necessary, with international codings or classifications such as SOLAS. These may include slam, drop and inversion trials. Sea trials help to ensure that the design and construction of every Delta boat is always moving forward with the latest and best in marine technology.
