Advanced Industrial and Marine Services, Inc. (d/b/a AIMS International) was founded in 1982 as a distributor to the offshore oil and gas industry for Fiber grate Corporation, a major fiberglass grating manufacturer.
Building a strong foundation with our experienced and knowledgeable leadership team.
The future for AIMS is promising. As a growing player in the VIV suppression industry, AIMS is concentrating its efforts towards capturing a higher percentage of the business. AIMS will never turn its back on the product lines that brought it to where it is today, but diversification is key to continued growth.
AIMS provides a full line of vortex induced vibration (VIV) suppression products including fixed-fin vortex strakes, patent-pending AIMS Dual-Finned Flow Splitter (ADFS) fairings, and ROV-friendly strakes and fairings.
AIMS FRP structural products include molded fiberglass grating systems, pultruded fiberglass grating systems, fiberglass mudmats, fiberglass structural fabrication, fiberglass platform ID signs, and custom hand-laid-up products.
AIMS provides the design and fabrication of platform and dock fendering systems, energy cells, boat landing rubstrips, barge bumper rubber sleeves, conductor stabilizers/centralizers, and custom rubber and urethane products.
FRP may consist of molded and pultruded fiberglass grating systems, access platforms, ladders, handrail systems, platform ID signs, and many other applications. Almost any structure that can be built in steel can be built with fiberglass by AIMS.
Fiberglass security fencing, or electrolytically non-conductive (ENC) fencing, can be used instead of metal fencing, and it is most beneficial when used in places where there are corrosion concerns (FRP is non-corrosive), or conductivity issues (FRP fence is non-conductive and invisible to radar.)
AIMS’ experienced Installation Technicians are trained in the art of fiberglass structural fabrication and utilize engineered drawings to manufacture a product that is customized to meet customer requirements.
STRAKES
AIMS fixed-fin vortex strakes are designed for ease of installation and are custom manufactured to project specifications. The strakes can be installed via S-lay, J-Lay and Reel-Lay, as well as our patented ROV-friendly design.
FAIRINGS
The patented AIMS Dual-finned Flow Splitter (ADFS) fairings are used to suppress vortex-induced vibrations in any region of a steel catenary riser (SCR), drilling riser, or structural tendons. The ADFS is an alternative to the conventional “tear-dropped” fairing and is more stable and efficient at reducing drag and vortex induced vibration (VIV).
AIMS stringent QUALITY ASSURANCE program requires any structural system sent offshore to be completely assembled onshore and verified for accuracy and completeness. This can save valuable time and money due to the critical nature of offshore work and the difficulty of fixing problems offshore. Since AIMS fabricates and installs its own fiberglass structural systems, quality is assured throughout each phase of the process. Once offshore, the structural system is de-crated and assembled by crews highly trained in the art of fiberglass structural fabrication. AIMS’ offshore and off-site installation crews provide the flexibility to service what it sells, and ensure the client receives a successful installation.

Fiberglass security fencing, or electrostatically non-conductive (ENC) fencing, can be used instead of metal fencing anywhere, and it is most beneficial when used in places where there are corrosion concerns (FRP is non-corrosive), or conductivity issues (FRP fence is non-conductive and invisible to radar.) The FRP fencing materials are fire retardant.
ENGINEERED DRAWINGS THAT PRODUCE A FABRICATED PRODUCT
AIMS’ experienced Installation Technicians are trained in the art of fiberglass structural fabrication and utilize engineered drawings to manufacture a product that is customized to meet customer requirements.
AIMS is the leading supplier of molded fiberglass gratings to the offshore oil & gas industry. AIMS and its sister company, Delta Composites, LLC, jointly own the intellectual property and the manufacturing of both the molded and pultruded fiberglass grating products.
AIMS DeltaSpan Pultruded Fiberglass Gratings are manufactured in compliance with a strict quality control system.
AIMS Fiberglass Mudmat Systems are stronger and less expensive than traditional steel mudmat systems. These fiberglass mudmats are 24 times stronger than 1/4” steel plate, and 7.5 times stronger than 3/8” steel plate.
AIMS International is a world leader in the fabrication and installation of fiberglass structural systems. As a turn-key supplier, AIMS designs, fabricates and installs safe and cost effective fiberglass structures.
For years, AIMS has been supplying customized Fiberglass Platform ID Signs to the offshore oil & gas industry.
In association with Creative Pultrusions, Inc., AIMS has published the most comprehensive Fiberglass Structural Design Manual in the industry.
"AIMS International has emerged as the offshore oil & gas industry leader in engineering design, fabrication and installation of fiberglass structural systems. I highly recommend their professionalism!"
