Description: SECTION 01010 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1GENERAL 1.1GENERAL DESCRIPTION The contractor shall fabricate and deliver six (6) floating marine camels to be used for the protection of ships, harbor craft, wharves and piers from damage due to vessel maneuvers where vessel-to-pier contact may occur. Along with a bid, the contractor shall provide a detailed drawing/sketch of the marine camel’s cross section and side view (include all specified dimensions below) ADDITIVE BID ITEM: Please provide cost for the fabrication and delivery of each additional marine camel above six (6), not to exceed twenty (20) total. 1.1.1 Specific Requirements: DESCRIPTION: The camels shall be comprised of a single cylindrical steel pipe core. The pipe core shall be ASTM A 53, type E or S, grade B. It shall be completely sealed with welded end caps and encapsulated with resilient marine grade urethane elastomeric skin with no leaks or cracks. Pipe core shall be water tight and completely filled with foam-in-place urethane foam conforming to US Coast Guard approved (MIL-21929) urethane buoyancy foam. The steel pipe core will terminate a distance of 1 inch from each end of the camel. CENTRAL STRENGTH MEMBER: An internal steel core, which is of welded construction, fabricated in accordance with applicable AWSD 1.1 welding procedures, will incorporate a tension member or other specified internal structure with appropriate end plates. Internal plates and a load distribution structure are designed to distribute buoyancy stress and forces to the central tension member and buoy during operations and in all design load conditions including specified submergence and maximum list. Either mild or high strength steel will be utilized as required to meet design load requirements and customer specification. STEEL CORE PREPARATION: In accordance to (SSPC-SP10/NACE No. 2), when coated with a standard marine epoxy coating system, required, near-white blast cleaning (SSPC-SP10/NACE No. 2) with a 2-4 mil anchor profile to provide mechanical bonding and suitable coating surface. Remove material from the surface that can cause early failure of the coating system and (b) to obtain a suitable surface roughness and to enhance the adhesion of the coating system. RIGID FOAM CORE: A rigid urethane internal foam core shall be molded into the central strength member steel pipe core. The rigid urethane foam core shall be conforming to US Coast Guard approved buoyancy closed cell rigid foam per MIL-P-21929. CAMEL SKIN: The exterior surface of the buoy shall be a weather resistant PTMEG polyurethane elastomer. This elastomer shall be formulated for the marine environment. Two-component 1-1 slow spray based polyurethane coating shall be solvent free and 100% solids. Polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), 2, 4-toluene diisocyanate, and aromatic diamine based Polyurea elastomer designed for marine environments. The products requirements include an 8 minute tack free time, 45-second gel time and self-leveling capabilities. Non PTMEG based products to be excluded. The color of the urethane camel skin shall be BLACK. The camel skin shall be bonded securely to the steel pipe core. The camel skin shall be repairable if minor damage occurs. CAMEL SKIN TOP COAT: The camel skin shall be top coated with single component UV stable polyurea with 75D shore hardness. The top coat shall be applied a minimum thickness of 10-12 mils. TOP COAT PG-SCAL 10 Total Solid Content71% Tensile (psi)5500 Color stabilityAliphatic Tear 800 lbs/in Hardness 75 D Permeability0.038 Viscosity 4000 cps STEEL PIPE CORE: Steel pipe core to be 36” diameter Schedule 20 Steel pipe core with a 0.375 wall thickness. HAWSE PIPE: Assemblies shall consist of an inner sleeve cast into the steel pipe core and pipe outer sleeve with a bevel edge. It shall be ASTM A-312 grade TP316 stainless steel. This will be the primary means for the marine camel to adequately rise and fall with the expected tidal range.
