Watertight Solutions
While creating a watertight dry dock may seem straightforward in theory, the reality is far more complex. To increase operational efficiency, working conditions, and avoid environmental risks, non-engineered extruded seals or wooden solutions are not enough. Trelleborg Marine & Infrastructure’s dry dock sealing systems are engineered for superior watertightness, featuring a unique polymer structure and installation clamps.
Delivered as a fully continuous design, the system eliminates weak points and streamlines installation by being custom-manufactured to match door specifications. Additionally, the rubber compound used in the gasket’s body is tailored to meet the specific characteristics and demands of each dry dock, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Solutions
Gina Gasket
The Gina gasket is a compression seal used between structures to prevent water ingress by hydrostatic pressure. Available in various sizes and polymer compositions, it’s an optimal solution for dry dock applications
Clamping System
The steel clamping strips, bolted along the sides of the gasket, ensure uniform compression and improved load distribution, maintaining reliable watertight performance and minimizing leak risks. With no steel embedded in the rubber, the seal is free from internal corrosion, significantly enhancing its durability.
