GVA has a patented series of drilling units which of the GVA 7500 is the latest development. This design is developed on the experience from its predecessors GVA 3000, GVA 4000, GVA 4500 and GVA 5000. The GVA 7500 is as all our drilling units characterized by two pontoons, four columns, only two horizontal bracings and an upper hull deck-box.
