INNOVATIONS
storm conditions TIMEFRAME
The RSDS was developed, designed and fabricated in a total of sixteen weeks. This is typical of Houlder’s ability to respond to client’s requirements against the clock. A final example of Houlder’s innovative approach to supplying equipment is the TRAV&L bunker LNG transfer system.
KEY FEATURES OF THE SKIDDING SYSTEM INCLUDE… • 4m x 10m skid trolley • Tower and cradle arrangement • Supports two reel types of up to 150t each
• Two 30t hydraulic rams drive the trolley 10m
• Trolley is driven over the skid frame on 200t Hillman Rollers
• Lateral movement arrested by guides at all four corners of the skid frame
• Easily reversed to pull back to loading position
• Flashing light and audible safety alarm • Designed to operate at sea in all but
Currently a concept design, the system allows Liquefied Natural Gas and vapour to be safely transferred ship-to-ship and will, the company believes, provide a vital link in expanding the opportunities small to mid- scale LNG operations present to the marine industry.
DELIVERING OPERATIONAL BENEFITS FROM INNOVATION Paul Shaw concludes “Customers who come to us for marine handling equipment want a trusted partner with very dependable technical abilities, but who can still deliver the operational benefits that come from innovation.”
By combining a wealth of experience, skill and resources Houlder can provide these to deliver new, potentially large and complex pieces of handling equipment to time, specification and budget. Paul signs off “We take care of the project from concept to final handover and beyond with our through-life support. Our clients can enjoy knowing that the risks and costs of innovation are controlled.”
