Glosten Tapped toDesign new Research Vessel for KAUST
range of oceanographic missions, including seawater, sediment, and biological sampling to the full depth of the Red Sea, approximately 3000 meters.At 50 meters long, the vessel will be significantly larger and offer a greater range of operational capabilities. The deck will be designed to deploy heavy equipment and sophisticated instrumentation for multiple disciplines, including geoscience, bioscience, marine science, and oceanographic research interests. The RV will be equipped with an advanced positioning system to enable deployment of long-duration remote and autonomous vehicles as well as geoscience
Oceanside Harbor Dredging Begins
. The sand buildup creates a shallow depth in the inlet and can result in breaking waves that are potentially hazardous to navigation.Safety measures during the operation include a delineated pathway along the beach for moving equipment, posted signs, flagmen and a lead spotter vehicle for transiting heavy equipment. Environmental safety measures also are being implemented, including water quality monitoring and protections for western snowy plover and California grunion.The Corps and the City of Oceanside remind residents and visitors to use caution on the beach in and around the pipe and vehicles
VIDEO: Vryhof's Mooring Solution Eliminates Need for Winches
, Vryhof has now come up with a verb "stevadjusting" to describe what the tech does: "chain adjustment, pre-tensioning of moorings and easy connection or disconnection of anchor lines."The entire operation takes place subsea and does not require the use of winches or other heavy equipment on the platform being moored, Vryhof said, meaning that the bollard pull of the vessels involved in the operation does not need to be prohibitively high. "Modest installation or maintenance vessels have sufficient capacity to get the job done. The use of this subsea chain adjustment
World Navies: Brazil´s Riachuelo Submarine
in the areas of submarine design and construction and industrial infrastructure.The ToT for the construction of the conventional submarines or S-BRs has been taking place since 2010 in the city of Cherbourg, France, where more than 250 engineers and technicians from the BN, NUCLEP (Nuclebrás Heavy Equipment) and Itaguaí Construções Navais (Navy shipyard) have already been qualified. The technology transfer process continues in Brazil, with the technical consulting activities during the project detailing the modified parts of the conventional submarine.“PROSUB has as one
Tappan Zee Constructors ‘See’ Below the Hudson
;The end users are the guys in the seat all day, so we listen to what they have to say and we make sure the system fits their needs.”Eliminating UnknownsTrimble Marine Construction software was used on all tools across the project for excavation, placement of structures and demolition work. Heavy equipment used included excavators, clam shell cranes, cutter head on a dredge and more. Regardless of the tool being used with the machine – buckets, pincers, shears, hammers, jackhammers – using the marine software and sonar equipment each had precise guidance, giving operators clarity and
Ty-Met Cable Ties Help Maintain Position in High-vibration Applications
won’t slide down the bundle of cables after installation,” said Ralph Donati, product marketing director, Installation Products, at ABB Electrification Products. “The spring crimp was engineered to provide positive clamping in high-vibration applications, such as manufacturing, heavy equipment operation, oil and gas processing, renewable energy generation and shipbuilding.” The formed channel provides a path for trace wire that protects against crushing and short circuits. Other features include the ball-lock fastening mechanism that is easily assembled and adjusted for tension
