Bearing Spud Barge
Modular barge with spuds hydraulically driven into the seabed for active downforce, keeping heavy crawler cranes stable during lifts.
Description
A Combifloat bearing spud barge uses vertical steel spuds that are driven actively into the seabed by hydraulic force from a hydraulic powerpack, pinning the barge in place with active downforce. This keeps the barge stationary during crane lifts even in strong currents or waves; the spuds are raised again for repositioning.
Combifloat has supported heavy lift contractors such as Mammoet and Sarens in the Netherlands and KSA, retrofitting C-7 jack-up components on barges in bearing spud mode to deploy large crawler cranes.
Applications
- Wind turbine installation with crawler cranes
- Heavy lifting and other heavy marine construction
