Impresa Lavori Marittimi Ancona (ILMA) was established in 1994 in Ancona thanks to the initiative of a group of people with proven professional experience in the offshore maritime works sector.

For ILMA, the hands-on experience of its management is the necessary prerequisite for carrying out activities correctly and effectively, primarily in the following sectors:

  • Launching of underground pipelines, post trenching
  • Interventions and inspection work on wells and underwater structures
  • Diving support in deep and shallow water
  • Provision of crane and hotel barges
  • Maritime works
  • Hoisting, transport and positioning of structures
  • Coastal rehabilitation
  • Engineering

Post-trenching machines for pipeline works

ILMA has acquired considerable experience in stabilisation operations and the protection of underwater pipelines all over the world. The company has executed a number of such projects for multinational corporations that include Tecnimont, Impresub, Agip, Petrobras, Saipem, Oasis Oil Company, Chevron, Mobil and Snam.

The above projects have resulted in the upgrading of ILMA’s Granceola post-trenching machine (PTM) to its current exceptional level of service. PTMs are suitable for pipelines or pipeline bundles from 2in to 56in outer diameter on its standard geometry.
