Platform Fendering Systems

Elastomeric fendering systems that protect offshore platforms from vessel impact; load cells, D bumpers and rub strips.

Description

Oil States elastomeric fendering systems protect offshore platform structures from damage by vessel traffic. The fenders absorb impact energy through deflection and the internal stress and strain of the elastomer, working in axial shear and/or radial compression. They store more energy than wood or steel fenders, and energy absorption can be tuned by choice of compound.

Key features

  • Components: load cells, "D" bumpers and rub strips
  • Compounds are developed in an in-house elastomer lab
  • Engineering, fabrication, bonding, coating, testing and installation assistance available
