What does thinking outside the barge look like? The Bardex OmniDock™ allows the project to put more monopiles in the water per season and get to power production faster, both lowering LCOE and increasing bankability. Supported by the Safier Ingenierie sas ALFOWT modular floating hub and C2C construction method, Bardex’s Floating OmniDock™ revolutionizes ocean launching capabilities.

Supported by Safier Ingeniere sas ALFOWT modular floating hub and C2C construction method, the Bardex Floating OmniDock™ is revolutionizing how the world thinks about ocean launching capabilities. From traditional commercial and military vessels to offshore wind turbines, the Floating OmniDock™ is infrastructure on the move.

Replace your aging and/or problematic wire rope system with a Bardex Chain Shiplift. With a smaller footprint, cheaper maintenance, and no grease entering the environment #TheChoiceIsChain

Lloyd’s Register Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment (CLAME) Code Notice 2 incorporates a risk-based approach that requires “single points” of failure in the load path be replaced with redundant support systems or mitigated through the application of risk factors.
Designing two chains per lift station has been the gold standard at Bardex from Day 1. Historically, shiplift winch systems have not been required to meet the same design and safety standards as winches used in other similar high-risk applications. We applaud the industry for increasing the risk mitigation efforts of wire rope systems.

The Bardex Off Vessel Tensioning (OVT) BarLatch™ mooring system is the premier lightweight solution for the offshore wind industry. Fostered by our 60 years of expertise in offshore solutions, the patented OVT method with anchor handling vessel integration has redefined the speed at which platforms become storm-safe. Making the seemingly impossible possible, the OVT method is designed to allow 0-person hours needed, leading to a safer installation process.

Unique to the Bardex system is its ability to directly lower the floater for wet tow and retrieve floaters back to dry land to perform major O&M (operations and maintenance) or to extend the life of the FOSW (floating offshore wind) platforms. No other system can do this. This breakthrough improves the supply chain process by providing an integrated extension to the existing quayside and adding an additional assembly area. The assembly of large FOSW platforms, like semis, TLPs (tension leg platforms), etc., can take place on a stable surface, and the assembled systems can be directly lowered for wet tow, reducing the health and safety risks. Compared to floating methods, the OmniLift system is a simpler, safer, and more controlled solution:

• Is not subject to as many Health & Safety variables as a semi‐submersible barge, such as wave height and quayside mooring
• Does not require ballasting operations to support load-out
• Does not require offshore tugs for stability
• Is not tide dependent

Be prepared for every lift, every time. Our 2nd Generation Chain Jack Platforms are designed for wider loads, so you can lift more than possible with a traditional shiplift and more safely than with a drydock.

For those outside the oil and gas industry, a steel catenary riser (SCR) is a method of transferring fluids between platforms, wells and pipelines. Delivered in 2013, the JSM SCR is an engineering marvel. It’s able to work at a depth of 7,000 ft (2,100 m), at any azimuth, and any angle while landing the pipeline’s end connection in the porch socket for 20 years of service.

After 6 decades Bardex is still producing first-of-kind technology along with our team partners Hagglunds Product Division of Bosch Rexroth and ABB Motors-Generators.
