3 1. HI-TECH PNEUMATIC FENDERS (HPF) HPF 4.5 mtr. X 6.5 mtr. 18 Nos. at multi cargo berth - INDIA HPF brand pneumatic fenders are manufactured in compliance to ISO which specifies the material, performance and dimensions of high-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders, which are intended to be used for the berthing and mooring of a ship to another ship or berthing structure. It also specifies the test and inspection procedures for high-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders. HI-TECH has been producing HPF brand Pneumatic fenders since 1997 and ever since has manufactured HPFs ranging in size from 0.6 meter diameter to 4.5 meter diameter. These fenders are widely used in Ship-to-Ship transfer (STS) operations, Ship-to-Dock (STD) transfer operations whereby they act as a critical protective fender against collisions in these operations. MORE THAN 2000 HI-TECH FENDERS IN USE FOR SHIP-TO-SHIP OPERATION 3

4 1.1 HI-TECH PNEUMATIC FENDER WITH CHAIN NET HARNESSING (HPF-CT) Chain and tire nets are designed to provide a rugged exterior for the pneumatic fender and increase protection against cutting or puncturing. Typically manufactured with used tires these nets provide an ecologically friendly use for this resource. Chain nets provide long life against corrosion. Rubber sleeves are often fitted on the chains between the tires for added protection against scraping the ship s hull. The chains are attached to end rings to connect the entire system. 1.2 HI-TECH PNEUMATIC FENDER WITH RUBBER MOULDED CHAIN NET HARNESSING (HPF-RCT) Rubber moulded chain net tyre harnessing provides extra advantage when used under compression. Rubber moulding provides extra thickness of rubber sleeves to the chain net tyre harnessing. All these features render this to have nearly zero maintenance. 1.3 HI-TECH PNEUMATIC FENDER WITH GREY CHAIN NET (HPF-GH) HPF-GH fenders are specially developed to overcome the problem of black marks left on the hulls of navy ships and passenger cruise liners. Hi-tech is the pioneer to develop no marking chain net and have successfully installed many fenders for Indian navy across India & also have exported too many naval organizations across the globe. Grey/white tires or sleeves are available for any type and any size of chain net. 4

5 1.4 HI-TECH SLING PNEUMATIC FENDERS (HPF-SB/HPF-SG) HSPF Fenders are designed to use without chain net for special applications like where metal contact due to chain is not permissible. Advantage of HSPF is that they are light in weight and do not require maintenance of chain nets. HSPF fenders have a thicker skin than normal HPF Fenders which are protected by a chain and tire net. This reduces their susceptibility to puncture. Also provided longer life against abrasion. HSPF are most widely used for naval applications, passenger vessels and where abrasion due to the harnessing is not acceptable. Available in black/grey body. 1.5 HI-TECH RIBBED PNEUMATIC FENDER (HPF-SR) Ribbed body reduces weight over chain net fender while still producing rugged protection. Elimination of chain and tire net makes handling of Ribbed fender easier. 5

6 1.6 HI-TECH PNEUMATIC FENDER WITH ROPE NET/WIRE NET/RUBBER SLEEVE HARNESSING (HPF-RN) Rope nets/fibre nets and Rubber sleeve nets are designed to provide a rugged exterior for the pneumatic fender and increase protection against cutting or puncturing. The wire rope net is lighter than a chain net but is more susceptible to corrosion. The wire ropes are attached to end rings to connect the entire system. Rubber sleeves are normally fitted on the wire ropes between the tires for added protection against scraping the ship s hull and causing wear on the wire rope Fiber net has a strong fiber bundle rather than a chain or wire rope to provide the strength member. Fiber net is recommended for applications where the risk of sparking (however minimal) must be reduced such as for LNG terminals. Fiber net is lighter than either chain or wire rope net is susceptible to cutting and abrasion. 1.7 HITECH FOAM FENDERS (HFF) Foam filled fenders are preferred choice when looking for a low maintenance and cost effective fender system. These fenders provide high energy absorption with relatively low reaction force. 6

7 1.8 HI-TECH HYDRO PNEUMATIC FENDER (HHPF) HHPFs provide Fendering for special draft vessels where the hull under water projects out further than at the water level such as submarine. HHPFs low hull pressure provides protection to specialized submarine hull coatings. HHPFs last longer than deep draft channels and are easier to reposition. HHPFs provide protection for instruments which project from submarine hulls. 7

8 3. HI-TECH NOVA CONE FENDERS (HNC) HEIGHT (300 TO 2000) mm The Hi-Tech Nova Cone fender was developed to meet the high energy absorption requirements of the large cargo vessels which began appearing in the 1990s. Hi-Tech has been producing the HNC element since In that time Hi-tech (Hi-Tech Elastomers Ltd.) has produced HNCs from very small 300 mm high to very large 2000 mm high to meet the requirements of our customers. The features of the HNC, dimensional stability which can perform in many situations, high deflection capability which produces high energy absorption with low reaction and multiple rubber grades allowing a wide range of performance characteristics, makes HNC an excellent fender element for a wide variety of berthing situations. HNC proved superiority in design against normal cone fender available in market because of having larger hole on the top side and strip vent on the flange side which eliminates water/air catching within the cone body under maximum deflection condition. The HNC is normally mounted to a pier wall and commonly is connected to a steel panel fronted by UHMW-PE pads which act as the contact area for the berthing vessel. The panel and pads provide a surface with great wear resistance and strength providing long life for the fender system. 3.1 PARALLEL MOTION FENDERS The principle of the Parallel Motion Fender is to stabilize the fender panel so that it remains vertical and deflects the energy absorbing elements without the detrimental effects of angular compression. This is accomplished by holding the fender panel by two torsion arms with a hinge arrangement. Keeping the fender panel vertical also prevents the panel from contacting a vessel s super structure in the case of a vessel contacting the panel below the center line of the fender elements due to tidal conditions. 8

9 4 HI-TECH CELL FENDERS (HCF) HEIGHT (400 TO 3000) mm The Hi Tech Cell Fender (HCF) is a proven fender design. Originally developed over thirty years ago the cell fender was engineered to the buckling of the rubber walls to absorb greater energy than could be achieved with radial compression of cylindrical fenders. Hi-tech has produced the HCF line in fenders ranging from 400 mm high weighing 75 kgs. to ones measuring 2250 mm high and weighing 7400 kgs. The HCF is normally mounted to a pier wall and commonly is connected to a steel panel fronted by UHMW-PE pads which act as the contact area for the berthing vessel. The panel and pads provide a surface with great wear resistance and strength providing long life for the fender system. 5. HI-TECH Z TYPE FENDERS (HZF) The HZF LEG FENDER is a proven fender design. Originally developed over twenty five years ago the leg fender was engineered to minimize the amount of rubber necessary for the absorption of a given amount of a vessel s berthing energy. Unlike fenders with circular designs a leg fender with a given height can be shortened or lengthened to vary the amount of energy absorbed and reaction produced. As with most buckling column fenders the HZF Leg Fender has fully encapsulated internal flangs that allow fenders to mate with the berths and the steel frontal panels. HEIGHT (250 TO 1800) mm LENGTH (500 TO 3000) mm 9

10 10 6. HI-TECH AT FENDERS (HAT) & XAT FENDERS (HXAT) Length (500 to 3500) mm HAT FENDER Height (150 to 1000) mm LENGTH (500 TO 3500) mm Length (500 to 3500) mm HXAT FENDER HAT and HXAT arch fenders are based on a simple buckling column design that provides improved energy and reaction characteristics over simple cylindrical fenders. The arch fenders are designed to provide rugged and reliable service for berthing small to medium size vessels. Both the HAT and HXAT fender have a rubber face with a corresponding high friction factor. This surface will tend to damp the motion of small ships during swell or wave conditions. In conditions that require a fender face that does not mark or requires a low friction surface the HXAT fender can be provided with a UHMW-PE frontal pad or connections to attach to a steel panel. 7. HI-TECH MT FENDERS (HMT) The HMT fender was developed to provide greater energy to reaction ratio than normal arch fenders to accommodate the increasing size of berthing vessels. Modern cargo vessels are also more lightly constructed than those of previous generations. This lighter construction means they can withstand lower hull pressures and the increased width of the HMT fender provides significantly lower hull pressure than a corresponding height of normal arch fender. HMT fenders are produced in sizes that can accommodate moderately sized cargo vessels. Height (150 to 1000) mm HEIGHT (250 TO 1000) mm

11 8. HI-TECH CYLINDRICAL FENDERS (HCT) The HCT is the oldest form of rubber fender for berthing ships. Cylindrical fenders whether large or small have been used in ports all over the world and are still used today. Being relatively easy to install using simple chain attachments, they are adaptable for use on piers with poor quality concrete that will not allow anchors for other fender. 9. TUG-BOAT FENDERS Tugboats, because of their working environment, are typically fendered to provide a cushion between them and the vessels they are assisting. These fenders can either be intended as pushing surfaces on the front of the tug or to protect the two vessels from accidental contact due to close working conditions. Hi-tech provides several fenders that can be used in either or both of these scenarios. These are listed as: D Type fender (HDF, Square Fender (HSF), Square +UHMWPE Fender (HSUF), W Type Fender (HWF), Keyhole Fenders (HKF) & Tug Cylindrical Fenders (HTCT). We can provide any size as per requirement. 11

12 10. HI-TECH CORNER ARCH FENDER (HC-XAT) H = Height (150 TO 800) mm L = Length as required H L Hi Tech corner arch fenders are designed based on our very successful HXAT arch fender. They are moulded with a 90 o shape to allow installation and protection to pier corners. This fender provides excellent protection from damage caused by small and medium size vessels contacting the corner. Please feel free to contact Hi-tech representative for more details and to help you select the right choice of the fender and size. 11. ROLLER FENDERS Roller fenders are specialized fenders intended to guide vessels into tight spaces such as canals, lock entrances or ship dry docks. They are also used to protect corners of piers where vessels are turning close to the structure. The fenders are designed to give little resistance to rolling contact rather than absorb the energy of berthing. Please feel free to contact Hi-tech representative for more details and to help you select the right choice of the fender and size. LENGTH = Number of rollers as required DIAMETER = 1 mtr. to 3 mtr. Of each roller 12

13 12. HI-TECH OIL BOOMS (HOB) Oil Booms are barriers used to contain oil spills in the oceans. Floating property of oil on water helps the boom round up and contain oil and keep it from expanding and contaminating beaches, islands, and wetlands. The boom has a weight, the floating tube, and a tall wall-like structure to help keep the oil contained. Oil Booms come in many shapes, sizes and are also made from different types of materials as per their use. Selection and use of HOB depends on the function of boom, adequacy of its usage, prevailing weather conditions, durability, storage and transportation. Hi-tech offers different types of oil booms (HOB) which are actually solutions for oil spill response. These oils booms are used for many oil spill response such as oil containment, oil diversion, oil deflection or oil exclusion. Hi-tech offers three types of oil booms viz. External float type (HOB-EX), Self Inflatable/ Pneumatic type (HOB-SIP) & Foam Type (HOB-FT). 13. HI-TECH MARINE PROTECTION BARRIERS (HMPB) Security of marine assets has become necessary in recent times and hence a marine protection barrier is essential security equipment for NAVY ships and other vessels. Hi-tech protection barrier is laid as a line of demarcation to protect the maritime facilities. The fill system is extremely durable and environment friendly. HMPBs are equipped with Inflatable rubber floats, center tension assembly, underwater protection metal grid, security alarm system, positioning marking buoys and illumination during night to mark NO-ENTRY zone. 13

14 14. OFFSHORE PRODUCTS 14.1 SHOCK CELLS (HSC) The Hi-tech shock cells (HSC) for off-shore platforms was developed as a safe efficient boat landing system that can absorb energy in both deflection and shear. The shock cells can be manufactured with or without an eccentric bumper ring. The basic principle of a shock cell is the adhesion of rubber to two concentric steel tubes GROUT SEAL (HGS) & GROUT PACKERS (HGP) PASSIVE GROUT SEAL (HGS) Grout seals prevent mud contamination thereby ensures a clean jacket leg annulus. Hi-tech can manufacture HGS as per client requirements. Unless until specified, we use ASTM A36 steel in our HGS. Please contact Hi-tech representative for elaborate details. INFLATABLE GROUT PACKER (HGP) Grout Packer is made of reinforced rubber. HGP ensures successful sealing and proper grout setting between the offshore jacket leg and pile facility DIAPHRAGM CLOSURE (HDC) The diaphragm is a dome of reinforced rubber clamped into a ring which can be made a part of the leg or skirt sleeve. Diaphragm closures seal the legs and skirt sleeves of off shore platforms during transportation and installation to provide buoyancy and keep out foreign material. They are designed and tested to withstand the hydrostatic pressure exerted during jacket flooding operations. As standard procedure Hi-tech tests all diaphragms to 1.5 times the operating pressure but we have to capability to meet tougher requirements ZIP-OUT CLOSURES (HZC) The Hi-tech zip out closure (HZC) is a subset of the HTE diaphragm closures that are designed with a metal dome sealed by rubber to the jacket leg, piling sleeves or piling with the purpose of being removed once the sealing of the tube is no longer required. * ALL OFFSHORE PRODUCTS ARE CUSTOMISED AND AVAILABLE IN ALL DIFFERENT SIZES. 14

15 14. OFFSHORE PRODUCTS 14.5 SHEAR FENDERS (HSHF) Hi Tech Elastomers Shear fenders (HSHF) are designed to absorb energy through the stretching of the elastomeric component in the lateral direction while maintaining the ability to support heavy loads perpendicular to that movement. The shear fender also maintains a linear load vs. deflection characteristic throughout their usable range of deflection BUMPER RING (HBR) Hi Tech Elastomers has developed a rubber ring (HBR) which can be used to encase a pile or cylindrical component in a barge bumper providing extra energy absorption capability and preserving the integrity of the steel cylinder. The rings will also rotate around the cylinder thus minimizing the shear forces imparted from a vessel with lateral movement during berthing operations PILE GRIPPER (HGP) Hi Tech pile grippers are designed to provide a quick and secure means of securing a structure to piles during off-shore platform construction. A pile gripper is mounted to the top of a jacket skirt pile sleeve or other platform template during the sleeve construction. The pile grippers provide a secure enough hold on the piles to allow many ancillary functions to be performed while permanent fixtures for the jackets are installed SHOCK PADS (HSP) Hi Tech Elastomers has developed shock pads for the off-shore industry based on the bridge bearing pads. These pads are a combination of steel plates with rubber vulcanized between them. Used mainly in the lifting systems of self leveling platforms as shock absorbers and vibration dampers, shock pads may be used in other applications requiring support of heavy loads without a rigid structure. 15

16 14. OFFSHORE PRODUCTS 14.9 BARGE BUMPER ASSEMBLY Hi Tech Elastomers has the ability to package its shock cells with high strength steel barge bumper cylinders providing the customer with a complete barge bumper system for installation on their platform.

This system is made of Polyethylene cubes and can be customised as per requirement. FLOATING PLATFORM OF SIZE: 6.6M X 2.5M 21. HI-TECH WAVE ABATER SYSTEM (HWAS) Hi-tech s Wave Abater system (HWAS) helps extenuate the harsh effects of natural and artificial effects of waves. The system is engineered to act as floating breakwater thereby reducing the effect of wave when it hits the system and renders safety to the marina basin. 22. HI-TECH MARINE GROWTH PREVENTER (HMGP) Marine growth on the submerged members of offshore structures/jetties increases the section area of the submerged part which thereby alters the surface characteristics of the offshore structures. This alteration in surface characteristic contributes to the environmental loading and weight on the offshore structure. Hence prevention of marine growth requires protection of system/apparatus of offshore structures and jetties for proper functioning which have their parts submerged in the ocean water and are prone to marine fouling. 19
