Congratulations to Brendan Murauer and his team on successfully completing
TESA's first hot bonding job in Perth on a large agitator shaft for
Olympic Dam. The steel agitator shaft was lined with bromo-butyl rubber to
protect it against corrosion whilst in operation. The great production
crew, who were flexible with their working hours, facilitated the
successful completion for an on time delivery.

Trelleborg Industrial AVS has designed and donated a new engine mounting system to cope with the massive forces anticipated during the “Earthrace” round the world record-breaking attempt, which starts from Valencia, Spain on 1st March.

Earthrace is a 78ft wave-piercing trimaran that runs exclusively on 100% biodiesel and has a net zero carbon footprint. It is powered by two Cummins MerCruiser Diesel QSC8.3-540 diesels, each mounted on four Metalastik® Cushyfloat® HT™ high-performance elastomeric engine mounts. The current world speed record is 75 days and was set by Cable and Wireless Adventurer (GB) in 1998. The new record attempt will travel via the Azores, Puerto Rico, Panama Canal, Manzanillo, San Diego, Hawaii, Marshall Islands, Palau, Singapore, Kochi, Salalah, Suez Canal and back to Valencia. The original mounting system proved inadequate during the course of last year's initial record attempt, which had to be abandoned due to extreme weather in the Mediterranean. The solution proposed by Trelleborg Industrial AVS was a conventional four-point mounting system based on the new Metalastik® HT™ (High Thrust) Cushyfloat®, which has been specifically designed for higher thrust loading and higher torque output of modern marine engines. The rubber element of the Metalastik® HT™ Cushyfloat® is precisely configured to combine a relatively high degree of flexibility in the vertical and lateral modes, together with good longitudinal stiffness fore and aft. This means excellent vibration isolation properties with minimum movement under thrust forces. Metalastik® HT™ Cushyfloat® incorporates bump and rebound control features to limit excessive movement under shock and a corrosion-resistant metal cover to protect the rubber against oil contamination. Trelleborg Industrial AVS offers the Metalastik® HT™ Cushyfloat® in two basic designs and a variety of rubber compounds to accommodate loads from 85 to 900 kg. Earthrace is a not-for-profit project led by skipper Pete Bethune (NZ) and with volunteers providing the crew and back-up. The boat itself was designed and built in New Zealand by Calibre Boats, using carbon/kevlar composites. It has a maximum speed of 40 knots, can carry 3,000 gallons (11,500 litres) of fuel and has a range of 14,000 nm at 6 knots. It is designed to take up to 24ft (7metres) of water on top of the windscreen and the wave piercing is controlled by pumping up to 2.5 tons of water into a special ballast tank in the bow. The more water in the bow and the faster the boat is travelling, the more effectively it pierces the waves.

Trelleborg have designed & developed a simple two part system , comprising a metallic hanger , mounted to the Chutewall , together with a fully Moulded Rubber Skirting that is available in many sizes , gauges & compounds.

There are many benefits - no nuts , bolts or clamping systems , merely tap the Rubber into the hanger! Installation & maintenance is simple & safe.
Retrofits easily to your existing Chutewall. The rubber is merely a tear off from the hanger when maintenance is required.

TRELLSKIRT really does take the nuts & bolts out of Skirting Systems!!

The South Brisbane Dry Dock was constructed in 1876 and is 430ft long and 60ft wide.

The use of the dock by ships fluctuated during the years subject to economic conditions and improvements in land transport. The dry dock closed in 1972 and converted to a Maritime Museum opening in 1979 and HMAS Diamantina was placed in the dry dock in 1981.

In 1998 the caisson failed and the dock flooded lifting Diamantina clear of its keel blocks. The Queensland Government undertook a project to replace the caisson with a river wall in July 2005. The Diamantina is now resting on new keel blocks in the dry dock and the Museum now conducts guided tours of the bottom of the dry dock.

The new river wall was constructed by J. F. Hull Holdings and was completed in September 2006.

The rubber seals were manufactured by Trelleborg Queensland Rubber Pty

Trelleborg Queensland Rubber was successful  in winning the order for the supply of the very large pot bearings required for the Waiwera Viaduct.The northern motorway extension from Orewa and Puhoi comprised of 7.5 km of road with twin tunnels, five bridges, two smaller viaducts and one 520 metre long viaduct at Waiwera.  The customer was an alliance comprising Transit N.Z. , Fulton Hogan, Leighton Contractors and URS as engineering consultants.

Because of the extremely difficult geological conditions and the usual high seismic activity in the region, the bearings demanded very critical performance as well as high shear performance under seismic conditions.  The SLS varied over the sixteen bearings from 6140kN on one abutment to 21000kN on one of the central piers.  Critical corrosion protection requirements were also demanded because of the estuarine location.
