Floating docks have been on the pro- gramme of MAN GHH since 1878.

From June 1982 until September 1983, two GHH floating docks were commis- sioned by our specialists at their final destination in the U.S.A., another two in Saudi Arabia, one in Indonesia, and one in Singapore. Our dock construction yard is also fully equipped for build- ing floating cranes, such as the three 200-t units deliver- ed to Saudi Arabia in 1983.

Velodur's new "Super-Rapid CA/ HD" (Chemical Aggression/Heavy Duty) is designed to satisfy several critical specifications by industrial and military users of Coldwelding Systems products. Super-Rapid CA/HD is capable of application to wet, oily and grea- sy surfaces which are actively leak- ing. Much like Velodur's Rapid, which has gained wide acceptance, the new Super-Rapid CA/HD cures quickly, reaching its optimum strength characteristics in three to four minutes. Together with the Velodur Kevlar® Reinforcement Tape included in each repair kit, Super-Rapid CA/HD can be speci- fied in applications requiring heavy chemical resistance. Super-Rapid CA/HD does not re- quire overcoating for optimum strength. A single application re- sults in a fast, effective repair if optimum strength, which can then be tooled, machined and painted. Velodur/Durmetal guarantees the technical test data for all its prod- ucts as well as the indefinite shelf life of its kits.
