Boat Ballasting Systems
iPlatforms specializes in the construction of ballasting systems for naval gates or hulls of various kinds.
Ballast systems are designed to control the buoyancy, balancing and heeling of naval structures using ballast boxes called “Ballast” connected to each other through a piping system. By varying the amount of sea water or air inside the crates in the various sectors of the hull by means of dedicated compressed air pumps or blowers, we are able to control the buoyancy or flooding of the rooms. The automatic compensation system is managed by a centralized control unit connected to a series of level sensors installed inside the Ballasts.
Interested Naval Structures:Container Ships, Ferries, Transport Ships, Barges, Port Boats, Barrier Gates, OFF-Shore Structures, Military Ships.
