4 The QuayQuip Range QuayQuip s bollard range has developed over the last 25 years into a comprehensive choice of standard and custom units to suit every application in newly built berths or upgrades. ll QuayQuip bollards incorporate the high quality materials, rigorous testing and inspection needed for safe, reliable mooring. Cast steel is the most popular material and comes with the option of Charpy testing for low temperature down to 40 C. QuayQuip bollards are also available in nodular (spheroidal graphite) or regular cast iron where this is still preferred. Tricorn bollards optionally include QuayQuip s unique load fuse (LF) technology a connection between the bollard s trunk and base that limits accidental overloads and protects the berth from structural damage.

5 Stronger nchors QuayQuip ensure that every bollard anchor that we supply is right for the job. Undersized anchor plates, or simple welded-on plates or nuts, concentrate loads and can cause compressive failure in the surrounding concrete structure potentially leading to structural damage and the bollard being pulled free or entirely out. QuayQuip s carefully calculated designs use wide, thick anchor plates to safely distribute bollard loads into the surrounding concrete structure, as called for by the applicable standards. Load Fuse ollards load fuse helps protect structures against overload. Traditionally bollards have been installed using break-off bolts, which will fail above a certain load. ecause it is difficult to predict exactly how groups of fuse bolts will fail, QuayQuip offers new designs of bollard with single, integral load fuses. The bollard s base plate and head are joined by a load fuse (safety) weld, carefully calibrated to fail above a certain load. y contrast the explosive overload failure of ductile and cast iron bollards can be dangerous for people, structures and vessels. QuayQuip anchor plate Densolen wrapping ensures bolt pretensioning The large base plate distributes bolt tensile loads into the concrete. ollard with load fuse Consistent maximum load (±10%) Optional baseplate designs for custom or upgraded installations Small plate or nut-only Compressive failure in concrete Nut-only anchors concentrate loads locally, causing compressive failure. Traditional bollard Maximum load ±50% increases construction costs. Custom baseplates are usually harder to achieve due to the onepiece design.

10 Recessed and Pin ollards Recessed and Pin type bollards are used for flush fitting, avoiding protrusions and hull damage. pplications include locks and waterways where bollards are placed at single or multiple levels for vessels to moor without help from shore-based crew. Modern and classic styles are available, with capacities from 40kN right up to 600kN. There are options for integral or separate anchorages, and replaceable or permanent mooring pins. Profiles units are made to suit all standard sheet pile sections. Custom designs and replacements for obsolete patterns are also available. Legacy Types Some regions and operators still prefer traditional multiple, high-profile or cleat bollard designs. QuayQuip recommends specifying more modern designs that offer a higher performance per weight, and present less risk of operator injury from lifting heavy lines over tall bollards. When legacy bollard designs are essential, QuayQuip can offer state-of-the-art materials and coatings to minimise maintenance and extend service life. 10

11 Mooring Travellers QuayQuip s Mooring Travellers allow for water level changes by replacing conventional moorings with units that rise and fall with the vessel, even with tensioned mooring lines. Hardened cast steel rails and other parts are highly durable: minimum service lives are typically 50 years. The bollard sits above a buoyant, wheeled bogie, guaranteeing that it always presents at a safe and convenient level for crew. Faster transits benefit lock and barge operators alike and save costs. Modular rails can be provided to any height. ollard capacities range from kN. Capacity and height above water will depend on the unique characteristics of each berth please ask QuayQuip about your requirements. Typical applications include locks, waterways, high tidal range berths, and fast ferry berths. Shiphauling Systems QuayQuip design and build a range of winches and capstans for warping and hauling vessels along berths. Winches can be deployed at each end of the berth with a rail and carriage system which acts as a mule to haul the vessel in either direction. The winches can incorporate a Leadscrew Levelwind System for even spooling of the cable onto the drum. Control options include simple foot switches or a dock-mounted consoles or handheld remote controls. Capstans are often installed on docks for hauling in messenger lines, and can also be used to haul small vessels over short distances.

12 ollard Materials Cast Steel vs Cast and Ductile Cast Iron efore cast steel was readily available, bollards were made in different grades of cast or ductile cast iron. Most modern ports now recognise the great benefits of cast steel but it is important to understand the differences between the materials to appreciate the benefits and advantages of cast steel compared to any grade of cast or ductile cast iron. The main characteristics and benefits of cast steel, cast iron and ductile (SG) iron and grey iron, are defined below to help designers and specifiers of bollards make informed choices. Common ollard Materials Typical material properties of cast steel and cast and ductile cast iron are given in the table. These assume high grade raw materials, proper manufacturing processes, heat treatment where applicable and effective quality management. Stress QuayQuip are leaders in high performance castings for safety critical applications. Our skilled staff employ the best raw materials and strictest process controls. cast steel SG cast iron grey cast iron Strain Typical Properties* Cast Steel EN Cast Steel STM 27 Grade Yield Tensile Elongation (MPa) (ksi) (MPa) (ksi) (%) Charpy GE J at +20 C G20Mn J at -20 C N/ N/ N/ Cast Steel N/ Ductile (SG) Cast Iron EN-1563 EN-GJS N/ Grey Iron EN-GJL-300 EN-GJL-300 Undefined N/ * Properties given are typical values for each material grade based on prepared samples. Charpy testing is optional, and strongly recommended for low temperature applications. Charpy testing to lower temperatures is available on request. Factors of Safety Cast steel bollards are designed to a standard safety factor of 1.3 on the bollard material yield. The standard anchor safety factor is 1.5 on the anchor material yield. Designs generally follow these standards: S 6349 Part 2: [2010] Structural use of Steelwork S 5950: 2000 [S EN 1993] Marine Structures S 3990: 1993 Mechanical Equipment Design Coatings The table lists recommended standards and grades. Many others are available on request.

13 ollard Requirements ollards are specified and selected for their ability to perform safely, under a range of conditions and over long periods with little if any maintenance. Some requirements depend on bollard shape, others on the material used. Cast steel is the most reliable. Many cast iron foundries lack the facilities to make consistently high quality ductile cast iron. Grey cast iron is not recommended for bollards.

C5M (ISO ) is recommended but other coatings are available on request. While single-piece bollards can be galvanised, we do not offer the finish for two-piece bollards. Coatings can be supplied in many other colours and thicknesses contact your Quayquip office. Wear and abrasion from mooring lines is continuous. QuayQuip recommends periodic repainting to protect bollards from corrosion. Cast steel bollards, which are the least prone to rust and corrosion, will need less frequent attention than bollards of less durable materials.

14 Choosing ollards Local regulations and accepted design standards must always be followed. Designers should take the following into account: Changes in draft Changes in water level Winds and currents Forces from swell, waves and currents Type and angle of mooring line Forces due to ice (where applicable) Mounting type Using load fuses to prevent structural overload Where mooring load information is not available, the Ship Size table can be used a guideline. Ship Size Displacement ollard rating (approx.) < 2, ,000 10, ,000 20, ,000 50, , , , , > 200, [Units: tonnes] dd at least 25% to the ratings above if strong currents, winds or other hazards are anticipated. Hazardous cargoes ollards are not recommended for use at berths that receive hazardous cargoes including oil, LNG, coal and other volatile substances. In these cases please speak to QuayQuip about our range of Quick Release Hooks. Line ngles ollard Spacing Design codes recommend that bollards are frequently placed at 15 30m intervals, often at the same spacing as fenders (either at the same point as fenders or midway). nother approximate guide is 15% of the length of the shortest ship. On continuous structures, this spacing may coincide with the centres between expansion joints. bollard after breast line spring lines after breast line storm bollard fender stern line head line max. freeboard min. freeboard low tide mean tide high tide low tide mean tide high tide We recommend that mooring line angles are considered during a full mooring simulation. Vertical line angles should be kept as low as possible. Horizontal angles are given relative to the ship s main axis.

15 Environmental Factors Designs must take into account many effects of the surrounding environment, such as current, tides, waves and wind. ll permutations of freeboard and ship sizes should also be considered. The forces induced by passing vessels, especially in narrow channels, can be stronger still. Software such as Optimoor is useful in some cases, but more advanced software is needed to model passing vessels and wave forces.
