Measures to protect dock rubber fender
The initial cause of damage to the dock rubber fender lies in the three aspects of design, construction, and use management. As long as these three aspects are done well, the damage to the rubber fender can be effectively avoided or reduced.
Dock rubber fender protection
1.In the design, attention should be paid to the selection, layout, and fixing aspects. It is necessary to use a dock rubber fender with advanced performance, reasonable structure, and convenience to use. According to the structural type of the terminal, the design of the ship type and natural conditions, etc., the position and spacing of the rubber fender should be reasonably arranged to avoid the occurrence of the rubber fender tripping and blocking the ship. The equipment for fixing the fenders should be firm, and at the same time, repair and replacement should be carried out to prevent damage to the port rubber fenders due to poor fixing.
2.During construction, the work should be carried out in strict accordance with the design requirements and relevant professional specifications. Whether it is the production or installation of the wharf rubber fender, it should meet the design requirements to ensure the construction quality.
3.In terms of use and management, we should focus on two aspects. The first is to strictly manage the use of berths, try to berth according to the designed ship type and tonnage requirements. For the tonnage and size of the designed ship type and the ship berth with exits and exits, the berthing speed and berthing angle should be strictly controlled, and try to eliminate The situation of too small boats berthing at the big wharf, so as to prevent boats from damaging the port rubber fenders. The second is to strengthen the maintenance of the rubber fenders and repair the rubber fenders with signs of damage in time to avoid further damage. A rubber fenders maintenance and inspection program is needed to identify maintenance, wear, and damage as well as the likely causes at an early stage.
