Marine & Offshore Watertight Door – MHWT10

MHWT10 Watertight door

The MHWT10 weathertight and watertight door for marine use is available now.

Further development of the time honoured Dollco MHWT3 watertight door has been completed to launch the MHWT10. This steel or aluminium marine door takes appearance, operation and quality to a new level demonstrating our committment to continual development of marine watertight products. A single lever operates all the clips which secure the door against a neoprene seal to provide the necessary watertightness. Each watertight door is tested and certified by the appropriate classification society to obtain the approval for use.

Our Marine Division manufactures doors and hatches designed to withstand the rigours of marine and offshore environments and comply with the very specific rules and regulations applied to the various vessels and installations operating at sea in international waters. In our range of products you will find fire resistant, watertight, gastight and blast resistant doors and hatches. We understand that many applications require detailed attention to the purpose and we have a long record of meeting the needs of the most demanding specifications with products tailored to suit.

The MHWT10 is a product suited to both commercial and leisure vessels which need to protect spaces from the ingress or downflood of water or to contain water in collision situations. Depending on the size of the opening this watertight door will withstand a 7m hydrostatic head, however if greater depths of water resistance is needed, we have more products to go deeper. Our MHWT9 watertight door, with handwheel operation, will withstand a 30m head of water.

Tidal Power Generator Maintenance

SR250 Tidal Power Generator

Point Engineering assist Scotrenewables with Tidal Power Generator project.

The SR250 tidal generator was recently lifted out of the water onto stands at Hatston Pier in the Orkney Islands to undergo annual maintenance. Scotrenewables Tidal Power staff welcomed members of the public and schools interested in learning more about the
device and the work of the company. The SR250 will remain out of the water for 3-4 weeks before testing continues. The team will focus on grid connection tests and longer term deployments for the remainder of 2012.

Point Engineering manufactured and supplied watertight hatches and watertight covers for the unit and continue to provide product support for the project.
