Seafastening
With extensive experience in the design and fabrication of seafastening structures, TWD is able to deliver reliable and cost effective seafastening for the safe transportation of equipment on vessels and barges. We are able to create practical seafastening with effective deck interfaces and verify the deck strength capacity. The TWD project team works in close co-operation with the client to satisfy the requirements for functionality and placement on deck. Various examples include seafastening of Monopiles, Transition Pieces, Jackets, Cranes, Pile driving hammers, Topsides, A-frames and ROV’s. To see one of the more advanced and alternative seafastening solutions, take a look at the constraining of a jacket by means of suction buckets.
The relatively thin buckets were clamped in order to avoid welding and have a very quick release offshore. Watch the video.
