Installation Guidelines
  • Pre-assembly of the fender system, including anchor chains and front panels, is required.
  • Proper lifting equipment and personal protective equipment are necessary.
  • Installation involves checking anchor bolt positions, assembling fender to frontal frame, and securing the system to the wharf structure.
  • Special attention is required for handling and transporting fenders to prevent damage.
Key Recommendations
  • Consult with manufacturers for specific project requirements and performance testing.
  • Ensure all components are in place before installation.
  • Follow standard installation procedures and consult suppliers for any special situations.
Specifications and General Guidelines
The document emphasizes maintaining rubber fenders to ensure the performance of mooring and port transportation facilities. A maintenance plan should consider natural conditions, material characteristics, and structural features, with bolt torque adhering to standard values.
Maintenance Management Plan
Rubber fenders require planned maintenance due to harsh conditions leading to material damage and aging. The plan should consider material characteristics, inspection difficulty, and environmental conditions. Maintenance involves assessing damage and deterioration, evaluating results, and implementing measures to restore or replace fenders.
Maintenance Procedures
  • Periodic Check: Includes preparation, checking rubber body and accessories, scoring deterioration, and planning measures. Regular checks ensure objectivity and reliability.
  • Inspection Schedule: Details inspection procedures for critical parts like rubber fender body, fixing parts, UHMW PE pad, steel frame, chain system, and support system. Actions include cleaning, replacing, rust removal, and painting.
  • Inspection Types: Initial checks assess condition post-installation. Daily checks are routine inspections for deterioration. Periodic checks are systematic, conducted at least annually. Occasional checks occur after abnormal events or detected deterioration.
Inspection Frequency
Inspection frequency varies from visual inspections every 1-3 months to physical inspections every 6-12 months, depending on the component.
