does anyone recognise this equipment. they are most likely used in conjunction with a deep sea oil rig/platform and look like some sort of arm or brace to me.

Looks like a gas price jacker-upper, pretty sure.

funny, but seriously you could actually thank this company for helping keep gas prices as low as possible.

I never saw anything like that on the oil/gas rigs I worked on in the Gulf during the '80's.

if they are a part of a rig then they are most likely part of the deepwater wellhead or something else on the ocean floor and not above the water.

Tried to go to their camera page, but don't have a valid log-in...(duh)
Really can't tell much from the pics what the equipment is. Not enough detail, nor enough scope of the work being performed.
There are so many specialty companies that do one or 2 things in the industry that have their own specialty equipment. Even though I've worked construction for over 30 years, I used to run into stuff that our sub-contractors used that I'd never seen before. Often, some new innovative technology that the company had invented themselves, or something that is made just for one small segment of the industry.
