FLOATING DOCK
SPECIFICATION
1 General
1.1 Description
The aim of the present document is to define the main cha racteristics of a floating dock
designed for construction of floating caissons, made of reinforced concrete.
Length 58 m.
Beam 37 m.
Depth 35,5 m.
Weight 45000 Tm approx.
There will be the possibility of building another kind of caissons, according to the design of
dock.
The floating dock will operate in sheltered waters, protected from the sea, near a harbour.
Occasionally the floating dock will be towed in open waters from harbour to harbour.
To see the composition and distribution of dock elements see the preliminary General
arrangement drawing.
The floating dock comprises a central pontoon and two lateral walls having on top of each
side, a metallic structure of seven (7) towers connected between them. From these towers a
main horizontal frame (so-called umbrella) hangs on. This frame can slide using a motion
controlled system (hydraulic jacks).
Over the pontoon deck is constructed the floating caisson. When the caisson is completed
the caisson floats, after the dock have reached the necessary draught.

Except otherwise specified, the metric system will be used through this specification.
The following cha racteristics and dimensions are provisional and could be changed after a
final design is achieved.

P246633 6.
FLOATING DOCK
SPECIFICATION
In all loading conditions GM, corrected by liquid surfaces, will be at least 1,0 m. as
required by Lloyds Register for this kind of naval docks.
2 Hull
2.1 Structure
For the construction of both the pontoon and the wing walls mild steel, class A will be
used, according to the Classification Society Rules. Minimum yielding stress to be 235
N/mm2 .
There are two different zones by the structural point of view: the pontoon and the wing
wall.
2.2 Pontoon
Both ye deck and the bottom are longitudinally framed, with transversal bulkheads being
the boundaries of tanks. Every 2,50 m. there is a transversal girder, being this the span of
longitudinal stiffeners.
All constructive details will follow the good naval construction practice, according with the
Classification Society.
These are longitudinally reinforced in the upper part, where they collaborate to the
longitudinal strength of the dock. In way of the window existing in the wing walls, the
structure will be transversally framed, to stand up against the forces caused by the support,
lifting and descend of umbrella.
The umbrella is a truss steel structure, shaped to form the blocks including the internal cells
for stiffness.
It is a modular structure having 38.4 meters wide, 58 meters long and 3.3 m high. It has 24

SPECIFICATION
points to attach the climbing system (12 by side) and the estimated weight is about 420 ton.
This structure hangs from 24 points (12 by side). In addition and to avoid any excessive
movement due to wind effect, the umbrella shall be guided at four points (one per corner)
in both directions by means of shock absorbers.
There will have a central longitudinal platform to allow the installation of mobile concrete
booms on the top floor of the umbrella.
There shall also be two longitudinal platforms at both ends to allow the installation of
ancillary hydraulic cranes to manipulate steel bar for concrete caisson construction.
For both the booms and the cranes, it shall be required a system to allow the longitudinal
displacement, using a guiderail and the needed equipment.
The floating dock has fourteen (14) steel structural towers (seven by side) connected
between them by a master beam. There are two different types, four towers located at the
ends of the dock (narrow towers) and ten between them (wide towers).
The structure of each wide tower is a truss type of 4.4 x 5 m at the base and a height of
P246633 8.
FLOATING DOCK
SPECIFICATION
The structure of each narrow tower is a truss type of 4.4 x 3 m at the base and a height of
about 25 m. Its weight is about 16 ton.

FLOATING DOCK
SPECIFICATION
3 Equipment
On both sides of the dock, 12 sets of stage- lifting hydraulic units operated by 3 high- flow
power sources and controlled by a synchronized PLC system operate the umbrella.
Controlled Movement
Due to the size of the concrete block and thus the umbrella, the risk of twisting and
therefore locking the umbrella between both dock walls is a serious thread to the process.
For that reason a fully PLC controlled synchronized hydraulic integrated system is
required.
Climbing elements
Along both sides of the dock huge but lightweight constructions hold the climbing stage
lifting steel notched plates, while the climbing stage lifting hydraulic units are fastened to
the umbrella deck. As mentioned before, 12 units along each side of the umbrella deck.
Each unit exists of an advanced hydraulic system including stroke and and proximity
sensoring technology.
Climbing Units
All 24 climbing units comprise two long stroke hydraulic double acting cylinders of 70 tons
capacity and two double acting hydraulic locking cylinders of 20 tons capacity. The long
stroke cylinders, used for the actual lifting and lowering process, include a magnetic stroke
sensoring system, which communicates the plungers position via a local manifold and
valving unit to the central PLC-system. The locking cylinders also include stroke sensors
that signal their position to the PLC-system where all data is processed and communicated
back to the pumps and 2/2-way valves that control all cylinders (96 in total) in all 24
climbing units. The locking cylinders are used to fix the climbing units during the climbing
process. The main PLC-system is operated via a touch screen with a graphical user
interface, continuously showing the actual stage of the process, including all parameters.
Overall lifting and lowing accuracy of the entire system is 0,01 mm.
Ancillary crane
Two hydraulic cranes type Palfinger or similar on top floor of Umbrella. Capacity 4
ton/12m, this crane shall be possible to use also as lifting appliance when lifting parts from
deck or loading materials onboard ship.
P246633 10.

installed top floor of Umbrella. Separate hydraulic system to be provided for ancillary
cranes. All hydraulic piping on exposed decks to be made of acid resistant pipes and
connections. System pressure preferably not to exceed 250 bar.
