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, such as: the worst load combination, bollard shape, size, grade, embedment depth, surface adherence, type of mounting, etc.
To avoid damages to the wharf, the bollard’s and anchorage’s load capacity can be limited. This is done with fuse bolts.
Prosertek is qualified to develop its production taking different international safety standards and regulations into the account to meet our customer’s requirements.
