Reliable and efficient drive systems
How do you ensure that drive systems remain reliable and efficient? Iv offers tailored solutions for offshore and yard handling, including upgrades, life extension, inspections, and new construction of drive systems. With our expertise in the logistical and structural layouts of ports and yards, we help companies worldwide optimise their operations and add value to their business.
A review of the current system is required to upgrade (increase capacity) an existing drive system. This involves careful analysis of each component in the drive system and can include standard catalogue components such as bearings, seals, and couplings, as well
as custom-built gearboxes, hoist drums and
complex reeving.
We can accurately determine the remaining service life based on spectral and cyclic data. We can also analyse how we can extend the
life of our clients’ drive systems and determine
what adjustments are required to achieve this.
Sometimes, on-site inspections are required to determine the possibilities for upgrades and life extension. During these inspections, the degree of damage and/or wear is determined, followed by a report with advice for further improvements. On-site activities can be
combined with 3D scanning for more accurate
designs or adding sensors for (full-time)
field data monitoring. Iv has many years of
experience in performing these inspections.
We also design a 3D model of new drive systems at every project stage, including 2D and workshop drawings. Drive systems can
be applied to lifting equipment, conveyors,
locking mechanisms and pump units.
The Amsterdam ArenA (now the Johan Cruijff ArenA) opened its doors in 1996 and became the largest football stadium in the Netherlands. The stadium is unique in that it has a retractable roof structure. Iv provided the design, including detailed calculations and working drawings, of the retractable roof structure and later also carried out a residual life analysis on the components of the structure’s drive mechanism.
