BENEFITS OF MOORING DOLPHINS A mooring dolphin is a permanent marine structure used to secure vessels by rope or another device. Made of structural steel pipe that’s driven into the ocean floor, it extends above the waterline. Benefits include: High Strength Resists Corrosion Long Service Life Absorbs Impacts Protects Structures Deflects Passing Vessel Force They’re installed when it’s impractical to extend the shoreline of a pier or wharf to accommodate longer vessels. The number of piles needed to create a mooring dolphin varies, but typical applications utilize many dozens of pipes. TOUGH APPLICATIONS, QUALITY FABRICATION Longitudinal seams are welded using efficient and precise automated submerged-arc welding, or SAW, processes. The sides of plates fed through the rollers curl toward each other, forming a cylinder. Filler material is passed along the edges, on the inside and outside diameters, joining them together. After assembly, the circumferential weld is performed. We have an extensive catalog of welding procedures to cover many types of material and designs. With SAW, pressure is not used. A blanket of granular fusible material shields the arc. Here are the benefits of this welding technique: High Weld Quality High Deposition Rate Deep Weld Penetration Smooth Finished Weld No Spatter Every order leaves our yard with a comprehensive document package. It includes applicable certified Mill Test Reports, or MTRs, and documents covering other industry- or client-required processes or inspections. FINISHED PIPE TAILORED TO THE CLIENT Obtaining structural steel pipe in the desired condition may require additional processing, which calls for transiting in-process material between service providers. Greens Bayou Pipe Mill eliminates these hassles by offering additional services under one roof. Assembly Non-Destructive Testing, or NDT Post-Weld Heat Treatment Coating Load Out STRUCTURAL STEEL, PROCESS INTEGRITY An independent inspection agency checks welds for nonconformities. Any relevant indications found are documented by type and location before the pipe goes back to the welding area for repair. Subsurface and surface NDT methods can be performed per any ASNT recommended practice or AWS, API, ASTM, and ASME standard. Client-supplied NDT procedures are also welcome. Common types of inspections performed include: Radiographic Testing, or RT Ultrasonic Testing, or UT Magnetic Particle Inspection, or MPI Liquid Penetrant Inspection, or LPI CUSTOM MOORING DOLPHIN PIPE DELIVERY As a top waterfront pipe products supplier, Greens Bayou Pipe Mill can tailor delivery to customer needs.
