Marine Fenders

About TekMarine From its base in the United States, TekMarine Systems LLC designs and supplies advanced marine fendering and mooring systems to ports, harbors and waterways across the world. We bring a wealth of engineering and market experience to each project. Our fender solutions range from simple modules to the most sophisticated engineered systems. We supply every type of berth, including passenger terminals, bulk and RoRo ports, Oil and Gas installations and naval facilities. We offer full support at each step from early concept discussions through to design and detailing, material...

TJCQ Pneumatic Fenders TekMarine TJCQ Pneumatic Fenders are highly successful for ship-to-ship operations and for large tidal variations. They provide temporary or permanent protection and are simple to deploy. Their low hull pressure and reaction, rough weather performance and durability make TJCQ Pneumatic Fenders favorites for naval use. Pneumatic fenders also cope well with shear and with bow flares – energy absorption is unchanged at compression angles of up to 15°. They maintain a high, stable standoff. Pneumatic fenders are easy to transport. They can be shipped and stored deflated....

Steel panel with welded stud 0 UHMW-PE Facings TekMarine protects every fender panel with top quality UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) facings. Impact resistant and very low in friction, UHMW-PE allows vessels to move smoothly past a fender system without snagging or abrasion. It is also popular for heavy duty impact protection where fenders are not required. Easy to machine and install, UHMW-PE comes in many colors and several quality grades. UHMW-PE does not rot, split or decay and does not suffer from UV or ozone damage. It is fully recyclable. Open steel Timber...

Friction comparisons Material The coefficient of friction of UHMW-PE varies according to the material grade and the pressure applied to the panel's surface. These coefficients of friction only apply to smooth contact surfaces. Source: BS 6349-4:2014 For more information please consult TekMarine. Version 001d / Copyright TekMarine Systems LLC, 2015

Anchors and Fixings A fender system relies on the best quality fixings and accessories to perform properly. Large or heavy-duty fenders need chain systems to manage shear, tension and weight. These comprise open or stud-link chain, tensioners and shackles. Cast-in or resin anchors connect the chain systems and brackets to the quay structure. Various material grades and finishes are available: please ask TekMarine for details.

Brackets are purpose designed for every project. Please ask TekMarine for details. Version 001d / Copyright TekMarine Systems LLC, 2015

Anchors are available in galvanized or stainless steel finishes, in various strength grades and in metric or inch sizes. Ask TekMarine for details if the required specification is not listed. Cast-in type Cast-in anchors are preferred for new concrete structures. The threaded anchor links via a long tail to an anchor plate, for even load distribution. * Dimension A varies according to the thickness of the bracket or fender foot and should always be calculated. Chemical type Chemical anchors are used for existing concrete structures. Please ask about glass grout capsules and other...

Rubber Properties Every TekMarine rubber fender unit uses the highest quality Natural Rubber (NR) and/or Styrene-butadiene (SBR) based compounds. These meet or exceed the performance requirements of the main international fender specifications such as PIANC and EAU-E 62 "Acceptance Requirements for Fender Elastomers". The table below shows typical specifications for laboratory prepared and tested specimens. Please consult TekMarine about other fender compounds such as EPDM, Butyl, Neoprene and Polyurethane. Material samples for laboratory test purposes are prepared differently to rubber...

Standard manufacturing and performance tolerances apply to all TekMarine fenders. TekMarine may agree to smaller tolerances in special cases. Please ask TekMarine for tolerances of types not listed below. Unless otherwise listed or agreed with TekMarine, tolerances are ±20%. Version 001d / Copyright TekMarine
