2 Monopile upending and guidance system MPI "Resolution" During April 2005 the installation vessel of MPI the "Resolution" (TIV1) was fitted with a new monopile upending and guidance system, used for installing larger and heavier monopiles than being possible with the 350 tonnes revolving crane. These monopiles are used for the wind park Barness in Furness near the Isle of Man in the United Kingdom. The monopiles have a length of 60 mtrs, a diameter of 4.60 meters and a weight of 480 tonnes. The monopile upending and guidance system, classed by DNV, is equipped with hydraulic gripping and closing cylinders supplied by BREEDVELD & WEAVER.

3 The monopiles are loaded into the system using diepladers up to the point of overturn. A hydraulically controlled winch overturns and moves the system overboard, using the hydraulic cylinders for gripping and positioning the monopile. Max. monopile weight: 600 tonnes Max. monopile diameter: 4.0 to 6.0 mtrs Upending angle: 0-90 dgrs Upending speed: 9 min.

7 Salvaging freighter Tricolor On 14 December 2002 the Norwegian freighter Tricolor with a total length of 190 meters, sank as a result of a collision in thick fog out of the Belgian-French coast. Authorities ordered the Tricolor to be removed, as it was perceived to represent a danger to shipping and the environment. Because of its size and bad condition, the wreck could not be salvaged in one piece. It was cut into 9 sections using a cutting wire, after which the separate sections were transported to Zeebrugge for further scrapping on land. Prior to cutting the wire is strung under the wreck. During cutting the grit-covered bushes mounted along the high-tension steel cable are kept in place using 100 tonnes double acting hollow plunger rams, fitted with accumulators to maintain a constant pressure. These rams were supplied by BREEDVELD & WEAVER.

8 Hydraulic seafastening system installation vessel Marine Projects International constructs, installs and provides maintenance services for offshore wind parks in the Northsea and other regions. For constructing the foundations, installing the towers called monopiles and mountingthe turbines and rotors MPI developped the Turbine Installation Vessel 1 (TIV1) Resolution, a unique ship equipped with a hydraulic Seafastening system. BREEDVELD & WEAVER supplied the system with tonnes special double acting cylinders and tonnes special double acting cylinders. The special cylinders are furnished with several ceramic coatings. Before carrying out the various proceedings like installing the monopiles the vessel jacks up using eight extendable legs which are then hydraulicly fastened, thus creating a stable platform.

9 Allignment system wind turbine towers Some 7 to 8 kilometers off the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Rhyl, a wind turbine park is being constructed, consisting of 30 wind turbines, with a total capacity of 60 MegaWatts. Prior to permanently installing the 67 meters high towers, called monopiles, with a base diameter of 4 meters, onto their seabed foundation, they have to be hydraulicly alligned. An ENERPAC allignment system, supplied by BREEDVELD & WEAVER, is used for this purpose. This system consists of 10 sets with a total of 60 cylinders including shut-off valves, hoses, connectors, 10 manifolds and 10 hand pumps. If you have any questions or would like to receive information about a similar product, project or application, please contact our Sales Manager Mr. A.C. van Iwaarden or visit our website

10 Computer controlled testing BREEDVELD & WEAVER supplied Fa. Loggers with the ENERPAC computer controlled hydraulic testing system designed for testing rubber shock absorbers. Loggers manufactures absorbers which are used in a wide range of industries and branches like the offshore industry, defence market (in particular the Navy) and transport. During testing, the computer records pressure, distance and force with great accuracy and exports the results to a TXT-file, which can be imported in Excel to generate and print test graphs. A good example of computer-aided hydraulic applications.

13 Hydraulic tension in a modern glass roof The design of a new bank building in Madrid, Spain, incorporates a glass dome roof, with a minimum of glass panel joints. The construction of this glass roof embodies an architectural masterpiece. A steel tubular ring, made of large square tube segments, is mounted on top of a circular concrete wall. Specially made brackets, situated on the outside of the ring, are connected to the supporting structure of the roof, consisting of special rafters and wires, by 4 rods (M36), which are leading through to the inside of the steel ring. The large glass panels will be fitted to the rafters, creating the actual roof. Before the glass panels could be attached, the supporting structure, with a diameter of 31,1 meters, had to be simultaneously tensioned at 36 points. This was done by using the brackets and thirtysix 30 tonnes cylinders, after which the entire structure could be fastened, thus forming a rigid construction. The 36 ENERPAC single acting cylinders RCS 302, electric pump unit and hoses with a total length of 400 meters, including manifolds etc. were supplied by BREEDVELD & WEAVER. Also, the client participated in a operating and safety course, which contributed to a safe and smooth progress of the project, within the estimated time.
