Engineering the Future

Created in 2008 by the industry’s leading designers and engineers, QuayQuip builds fendering and mooring systems and custom marine structures.

About QuayQuip

2

QuayQuip’s design creativity has proven the value of new designs and materials: by expanding the range of possible structures, and by keeping our customers ahead of an evolving market.

From its unrivalled facilities and impressive track record to the most complete product certifi cation in the fendering industry, QuayQuip commands the very top of its market.

Curved R300 UHMW-PE edge pads provide a smoother transition.

Engineering-led design

The QuayQuip ‘Combi Roller’ protects and guides ships through narrow entrances.

Our senior management team has many decades of design experience worldwide, in roles from mechanical, structural, electrical and civil engineering, to piling design and naval architecture. Our knowledge of berthing and mooring is matched by a thorough grasp of maritime construction.

Modelling and analysis

Material development

Design for longevity

Using new creative technologies – including solid modelling and FE analysis – QuayQuip has rewritten the rules of fender and mooring design.

Our in-house fi nite element and structural analysis software helps analyse the behaviour of every component and load path in the system at the ultimate limit state.

A 3D design initiated in a European offi ce in the morning can be converted overnight into manufacturing drawings in Beijing, proofed the next day, before sending out to the client for approval.

Finite element analysis helps us create lighter, stronger, safer structures.

3D visualisations allow our customers to evaluate design concepts.

QuayQuip’s designers pay close attention to materials science. As a result of our research programme we now use higher grades of steel than ever before.

The best-designed systems outperform and outlast designs picked from a catalogue. Lower maintenance means lower lifetime costs.

ManufacturingQuayQuip is the only fender and mooring system manufacturer to create every major component in-house.

Our main factory occupies 70,000m² of an ultra-modern 1.2 × 1km complex in China with state of the art fabrication, chain, rope and shackle making, drop-forging, heat treatment, profi ling, machining, shot-blasting and climate-controlled painting facilities.

Every rubber fender element is injection moulded for consistent performance.

Our drop-forging press forms hinge pins and housings.

A quality assurance team is always on-site to enforce rigorous quality control and adherence to specifi cations. Our policy is to produce each order to the client’s satisfaction, and in full agreement with the project brief.

Rubber fender units are made using QuayQuip’s own moulds. A unique injection process ensures the highest material quality and performance of any manufacturer.

Quality

Our 3000mm daylight, computer-controlled compression press tests the world’s largest fender systems. The factory complex has a 4,000t pull test machine, which at 500m long is the largest in the world.

QuayQuip is the only fender manufacturer to have achieved Type Approval to both PIANC 2002 and ASTM F-2192-05 test protocols. Bureau Veritas awarded Type Approved status to: Cone, Twin Cone (PMF), Cell, Element, Arch and Cylindrical fenders.

QuayQuip’s laboratories are equipped for a full range of material and chemical analysis. Production is internationally certifi ed to ISO9001 and ISO14001.

Logistics

PMF systems are loaded on a convoy of trucks and readied for transport.

All shipments are well protected and labelled.

QuayQuip’s logistics department delivers heavy structures to some of the most remote sites in the world.

Full packing diagrams are drawn up for container and break bulk delivery, in 3D for ease of identifi cation. Photographs are taken during the loading process. Our production facilities are close to fi rst-tier ports in China: some major projects are loaded directly onto the vessel that will transport and install them.

3D packing diagrams and tables are produced by our logistics team for engineered system.

After-market

Experienced QuayQuip technicians are available worldwide to oversee installation or visit as part of a planned maintenance programme.

Commissioning and inspection

Complex engineered systems require higher levels of competency at installation. QuayQuip are on hand to offer on-site supervision and training.

Innovation

The Flat Pack Port is QuayQuip’s latest development. It facilitates fast installation of a fl oating or fi xed berthing structure in remote, inaccessible locations.

QuayQuip’s trailblazing engineers led the way with products that are now commonplace in ports around the world, such as rubber cones and elements, parallel movement systems, closed box panels, and UHMW-PE facings.

Fusible structures protect berths from severe damage arising from ship collisions. An easily replaceable, plastically deformed

steel compression unit dissipates signifi cant levels of energy at a relatively low cost.

QuayQuip’s integrated corner protection systems offer all-around protection for drydock and lock entrances.

Warping and hauling systems enable an operator on the dock to manoeuvre vessels back and forth under loaders or unloaders at the press of a button. Vessels can be hauled several hundred metres in one operation.

Tried and tested

London, England: a resource recovery facility featuring 120 fender systems, typically 12m × 4.2m, and fl oating mooring travellers. At €6 million, this is the largest PMF order in the world to date.

The Netherlands: 1700m of quay are fi tted with new fender systems including panels and UHMW-PE facings, ‘Tricorn’ ETG Bollards, ladders, tie rods and cast steel reinforcements to the concrete structure.
