Abstract: Since 1989, TECHLAM is widely involved in advanced technologies, and particularly related to maritime activities.
The company is world known for the R&D, engineering, manufacturing and installation
assistance of assemblies using laminated elastomeric components technology.
TECHLAM fully develops and manufactures unique applications for Nuclear Submarines, such as hydroplanes/steering bearings and many other articulation components. They may absorb heavy loads with large angular deflections and have many advantages: maintenance free, acoustic discretion, life span.
Since 2000, TECHLAM is a key supplier for critical deep offshore applications:
-
Flexible connectors used for easy installation, tension load transmission, motions accommodation, bending stress reduction during entire life of tendons, bottom and top connectors etc.
-
Installation assistance devices used during topsides offshore assembly (Leg Mating Units) or as deck supports (Deck Support Unit).
-
Shock absorbers: telescopic fenders, shock pads, compression and shear fenders, sway fenders etc.
TECHLAM is now ready to adapt such solutions for any ocean energy development applications:
-
Articulations: elastomeric components do not require any maintenance or lubrication system
-
Top or sea-bed connectors when required between large floating structures and anchoring devices
-
Installation assistance components for heavy offshore structures assembly such as offshore wind power plant …
