Introducing Pict
The company's origins go back to 2008 when we developed a smart auto-belay system for indoor rock climbing at the Edinburgh Indoor Climbing Arena in Ratho. This led to the creation of Limpet, a multifunctional industrial height safety system for onshore wind
In 2016, focus turned toward a new R&D project; to design a heave compensated access system for offshore wind, and in 2019, following collaboration with the ORE Catapult and Ørsted, the World’s largest developer of offshore wind energy, Pict Offshore was founded to commercialise the Get Up Safe system, with seed funding from Ørsted
Since then, we’ve deployed the system at scale at Ørsted's Hornsea 2 (UK) and Southfork Wind (USA) projects and proved that it can successfully achieve its key objectives to reduce project costs through optimisation of foundations, improve safety for technicians during transfer and increase access to wind turbines in marginal sea state conditions
