Fabrication and supply of Marine Buoys
Period: Sept.1995-Dec’96
Project Title: Fabrication of marine Buoy
Location: MENAS, Manama, Bharain
Client: MENAS, Bahrain
Project Scope: Fabrication and supply of marine Buoys as per client supplied construction Drawings
Construction Features:
• Central steel strength member
• Closed cell rigid urethane floatation foam
• Heat laminated impact absorbing closed cell foam
• Thick tough filament nylon reinforced urethane elastomer skin
• Internal radar reflectors
• Impact absorbing
• Unsinkable construction
• Puncture resistant
Project highlights
• MENAS maintains over 300 buoys in the Arabian Gulf. Buoys are essential in providing the mariner with visual orientation and spatial awareness. They also provide hazard, channel and waypoint marking. Equipment can be added to buoys to provide additional services such as the transmission of AIS and meteorological data.
• MENAS buoys have two mooring eyes to which shackles are attached to two pieces of chain forming a bridle. The bridle runs down to a swivel allowing the buoy to rotate and prevents the bridle from twisting and dragging the buoy under the water. From the swivel, a length of chain (known as a riser) runs to a sinker on the sea bed.
• Buoys provided by MENAS conform to the IALA Buoyage System ‘A’ which was introduced in 1977.
• The system consists of lateral, cardinal, isolated danger, safe water marks and emergency wreck buoys.
• Buoys are differentiated from each other by the colour of their light and flashing sequence, the colour and combination of colours on the buoy and the shape of the topmark . This marking scheme is designed to enable mariners to identify a buoy if the light is extinguished and /or the topmark is missing.
Fabrication and supply of anode assembly
Period: Dec.1995-Dec’96
Project Title: Fabrication and supply of Anode hanger assembly
Location: Manama, Bharain
Client: ALBA, Bahrain
Project Scope: Fabrication and Supply of 7700 Nos. of Anode Hanger Assemblies for Line-5 Expansion Project for Aluminium Bahrain ( ALBA )
Product features:
• Anode assembly for aluminium electrolysis cells comprising carbon anodes with stubholes and an anode hanger having stubs,
• Stubholes are fully or partially lined with an expanded graphite lining.
• Such anode assemblies provide reduced voltage drop across the interface between the cast iron and the carbon anode and thus increase cell productivity significantly. Further, mechanical stresses in the stubhole area are reduced.
• By further forming a collar from the lining , the spilling of cast iron over the anode surface is prevented and optionally a protective shot plug or a protective collar prevent direct contact of the hot electrolyte bath with the stub and the cast iron.
