Notice Information

Notice Title

Vertical Bandsaw with a Moving Hydraulic Table

Notice 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 cut large cavity filled polymer blocks into much smaller sections. The original blocks can be as large as 2000mm long x 1000mm wide x 800mm high and be up to 1000kg in weight. The intention is to cut these large blocks into smaller blocks roughly 300mm cubed. It has been identified that a vertical bandsaw with a moving hydraulic table and that is capable of cutting aluminium is best suited to this application. 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.
