Ship Bollard design
Bollards and anchorages are designed with a factor of safety against failure: 3 per Ductile Iron and 1.5 per cast steel.
Typical designs are based on Eurocode 3 EN 1993.
Bollards are calculated considering yield strength.
Anchorages are calculated considering several factors as: the worst load combination, bollard shape, size, grade, embedment depth, adherence of surface, type of mounting, etc.
To avoid damages to the wharf, bollard’s and anchorage’s load capacity can be limited. This is implemented by the use of fuse bolts.
Prosertek is qualified to develop its production taking into account different international safety standards and regulations, to suit our customer’s requirements.
