Description

Buoyant Works is a specialist UK manufacturer of high performance fender and impact protection systems focussed in the Offshore Wind and Marine industries. Key areas of expertise include Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) fenders, tug fenders, quayside fenders, and our innovative offshore wind turbine boatlanding protection system called WindShield. These products are designed to enhance the efficiency, safety, and operational longevity of maritime vessels and structures involved in offshore wind, port infrastructure, and marine logistics.

To assist with a new manufacturing process, Buoyant Works has a requirement to be able to condition 2 different materials at set temperatures. This is to be done in 2 industrial ovens where the temperature requirements range between 40 deg.C and 90 deg.C.
Both ovens are to be identical for added flexibility. The internal clear working space of each oven is to be approximately 4000mm wide x 2600mm deep x 2600mm high. This will provide sufficient capacity for materials to be conditioned over a 4 day timescale. The ovens are to be electrically heated.
The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
