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 selection,...

Q TJDA-B Arch Fender TJDA-B Arch Fenders are single piece rubber moldings with an integral vulcanized UHMW-PE low friction face pad in black, and other color options. The low-friction properties of the TJDA-B fender make it ideal for locations where shear forces must be minimized. Arch fenders are used wherever simplicity and toughness are essential, such as general-purpose berths and exposed sites. They are easy to install horizontally or vertically and need little maintenance. Values are for single units, L=1m. Facing options Model Version 001d / Copyright TekMarine Systems LLC, 2015

Values are for single units, L=1m. Standard tolerance ±10%. Please ask TekMarine if t < 4 seconds or for any other performance data. 29 Version 001d / Copyright TekMarine Systems LLC, 2015

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 structure...

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 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 grouting systems. For...

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 fender...

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

Testing Testing of molded1 and wrapped cylindrical2 fenders is conducted in-house, with an option for third party witnessing, using full size fenders in accordance with the PIANC 20023 guidelines below. All fender units have a unique serial number which can be traced back to manufacturing and testing records. Fenders are tested under direct (vertical) compression using the Constant Velocity (CV) method. The test specimen shall be broken-in by deflected three or more times to at least its rated deflection. After break-in cycles the fender specimen is allowed to recover for at least one...
