About DRASS
DRASS designs and manufactures underwater and hyperbaric systems for navies, diving contractors and offshore operators. Its portfolio covers submarine-rescue vessels and modules, saturation-diving equipment, hyperbaric chambers, midget submarines and supporting launch, recovery and life-support infrastructure.
The company integrates complete systems from pressure vessels and gas management through control, communications and handling equipment. Modular rescue facilities receive crews from disabled submarines and maintain decompression under controlled pressure, while diving spreads support prolonged subsea work. DRASS also provides engineering, installation, testing, training and through-life maintenance for complex maritime programmes.
