Before the first cable is pulled, the work is mostly done.

A Triton system begins where most integrators end — with a measured yacht, a documented intent, and drawings the next person on board can still read in ten years. What you pay for is the thinking. The cables are the easy part.

Phase 01 / Before the drawing

A drawing is the answer. First we listen to the question.

Engineering doesn't start at a CAD station. It starts on board, with people who know the yacht and the people who'll live aboard her. Two parallel investigations, both documented, both signed off before a single fixture is selected.

SHEET 02 / SITE SURVEY

We learn the yacht.

Every survey is on board, with the chief engineer, before a line is drawn. We measure structure, identify EMI sources, log every cavity and every penetration. The boat tells us what's possible. We let it.

  • Deck-by-deck cavity mapping & cable-route validation.
  • EMI sources identified before SATCOM placement is fixed.
  • Power-data separation per IEC 60364 — documented.
  • Existing infrastructure surveyed, reused where it serves.
SHEET 03 / OPERATIONAL SCOPE

We learn the people.

A right-sized system is a system that matches how the yacht actually lives. Owners want different things than captains. Captains want different things than the ETO. We don't guess. We ask, document, and sign off — before anyone draws a line.

  • Operational profile — owner, charter, crew, technical.
  • Failure-mode interview — what hurt last time, and why.
  • Service expectation — what “it works” actually means.
  • Five-year horizon — we design to where the yacht is going.
Phase 02 / The drawing set

Fourteen sheets, before anything ships.

An installer can work from a wiring list. An engineer needs more — a drawing set that says what's going where, why, in what order, and how it will be tested. Every Triton project starts with the same package. Every captain gets the same package.

SHEET 041:50

Rack elevation.

Every U accounted for. Heat budget known. Service access on both sides of every piece of equipment.

SHEET 06

Cable schedule.

Every cable has a number, a type, a measured length, a service loop, and an end-to-end label. The list is the truth.

SHEET 08SLD

Single-line diagram.

One sheet to trace any signal from source to destination. The yacht's network told at a glance.

SHEET 101:100

Coverage survey.

WAP placement validated against a heat-map before mounting. Validated again after, with the yacht in service condition.

SHEET 12BOM

Bill of materials.

Equipment selected for the role, not the catalog price. Every line carries a reason. Captains see the reasons.

SHEET 14T&C

Test & commissioning.

Drawings without proof are wishes. Every system is measured against its design intent and signed off before handover.

Phase 03 / The deliverable

The drawings are the deliverable.

An installer can hand you working equipment. An engineer can also hand you the document set that explains why it works, where every cable goes, and how to keep it that way. Five years on, that's what separates a system you live with from a system you live around.

01
Day-one experience

Equipment that turns on.

With engineering

A system measured against its own design intent — SPL, lux, RSSI, throughput — before handover.

02
Two years in

A fault somewhere. Source unknown.

With engineering

An ETO opens sheet 06, finds the cable, walks the route, isolates the fault. Sixty seconds, not a weekend.

03
A new owner

Inheriting a system no one explains.

With engineering

A document set hands the new owner the same understanding the original captain had. Nothing is mysterious.

04
A refit at year seven

Tear everything out. Start again.

With engineering

The previous design is the starting point. Most cable stays. Most pathways stay. The upgrade is targeted, not total.

05
A sale

Survey turns up unknowns.

With engineering

The drawing set is part of the package. A documented, supportable system is worth more than an undocumented one. Always.

TRT.DOC.01 · END SHEET

What you experience is the result of what you don't see.

Cables fail. People move on. The drawings remain. They are the only thing on a yacht that gets more valuable with every year that passes.
