Watertight Door Refurbishment in Ross Dependency, Adding Chain To Anchor - Deck And Safety Equipment

Watertight door refurbishment involves repairing and upgrading seals, hinges, and mechanisms to ensure proper functionality and compliance with safety standards. Deck equipment refurbishment includes restoring surfaces, railings, and fixtures to maintain structural integrity and appearance. Safety equipment refurbishment focuses on inspecting, testing, and repairing life-saving devices like lifeboats, fire extinguishers, and emergency lights to meet regulatory requirements.

Viscosity: Paint coatings typically have a viscosity of 50-70 KU (Krebs Units) for smooth application.

Buoyancy: Foam-filled doors may have buoyancy ratings of 50-100 kg/m³ depending on design.

Material: Steel, aluminum, or composite materials with rubber gaskets (EPDM or neoprene) for sealing.

Safety Standards: Complies with SOLAS, IMO, and ABS regulations for watertight integrity.

Operating Pressure: Designed to withstand hydrostatic pressures up to 0.5-1.0 bar (7-15 psi).

Fire Rating: Optional fire-resistant coatings (A-60 or H-120 class) for enhanced safety.

Hardware: Stainless steel hinges, locking mechanisms, and dogging systems (316-grade).

Surface Treatment: Galvanized or powder-coated finishes for durability in marine environments.
