| E.P.I. tightly controls all aspects of the manufacturing process to produce
quality, highly functional systems. We have produced parts that have been held to
tighter tolerances than most elastomeric standards. In a 12-feet stack height, the variance
was kept to less than 3%, which is significantly lower than the 5-10% variances typical
with rubber processing. |

E.P.I. considers all aspects of the job, including transportation and installation
of systems in order to keep the total project cost down. In the picture shown, a system of
chain slings and safety tension pins were incorporated into the design to facilitate
safe loading and transportation, as well as ease of installation. |
| E.P.I.'s manufacturing facility allows us to supply not only the elastomeric units,
but also the steel canisters and receiver cones used in mating the decks to the jackets. This
integration insures proper fit and alignment of all components of the floatover systems. |
