To supply products to the Offshore Industry is challenging for any supplier. Products must be thoroughly and rigorously designed, manufactured, tested and documented. Often the requirements push the scope of current technology, the lead times are short and the delivery times are critical. Clients must have complete confidence in your ability to perform under these conditions.
Since 2005 the European standard EN 1337-3 has applied to elastomeric bearings for architectural and civil-engineering applications. Besides the functional requirements, the standard describes the design rules, the material properties, the production tolerances and the acceptance tests. Trelleborg Ridderkerk BV designs and manufactures elastomeric bridge bearings in accordance with this standard.
