Bury Design

48′ River boat in service

pbury — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 03:21:34 +0000

The classic 48′ timber river boat Birrarung is now in commercial service on Melbourne’s Yarra river. Bury design worked closely with the builder and owners, providing design and engineering services to complete the project from an empty shell.

Interesting features of this craft include a custom built diesel-electric propulsion system to our specifications and a structural roof system removing the need for supporting posts aft. All design work was carried out to Australian commercial (NSCV) standards.

Dsn. #33 – HEY 60′

pbury — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 17:18:12 +0000

The brief was simple – a medium sized powerboat that traveled comfortably at a moderately high speed – efficiently. The quest for reduced power use lead to a hull design that is fundamentally different from that of a conventional planing powerboat. Instead, the hull is an easily driven shape that does not rely upon dynamic lift to reduce resistance. The shape is narrow, with a long waterline and a relatively low displacement. Together these factors produce a hull form that requires a mere fraction of the horsepower to drive it at moderate speeds.

In the pursuit of efficiency, comfort is not ignored. The long, narrow waterline reduces pitching motion and because the vessel does not change attitude when it runs there is little pounding at speed. The low centre of gravity combined with the narrow waterline reduces rolling motion in a seaway and improves the ultimate stability characteristics, and therefore safety, of the vessel. The installed Seakeeper gyro ensures that comfort in any sea state is assured.

The interior layout is designed for living not accommodating. In that sense hotel rooms with ensuites are done away with. Instead there is an open plan, versatile interior that offers many different configurations, allowing users to change things as daily requirements change.

Multi-purpose floating platform/drydock preliminary design

pbury — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:07:26 +0000

In conjunction with the structural refurbishment and vessel restoration to survey standard of the Alma Doepel, Bury Design has been tasked to design a floating dry dock suitable for lifting the ship. The dock will be constructed using large cylinders, previously used in the offshore oil sector.

The barge is conceived to be used for the duration of the refurbishment of the Alma Doepel. After this it is envisaged that barge be used as a floating platform suitable for many uses on the Yarra River. These could include on water concerts, exhibitions, gardens or even an ice rink!

24m Aluminium self propelled barge launched

pbury — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:00:46 +0000

Working in conjunction with the builder, Bury design produced the design and certifying documentation for this versatile vessel.

24m in length and 11m wide the barge features a unique trimaran configuration below the waterline giving improved strength, resistance characteristics and protection for the four independent thrusters/drive motors. These hydraulic drive units, specifically designed and built by Commercial Catamarans, are powered by a single onboard diesel engine. The advanced control system allows for the vessel to be maneuvered by joystick in any manner, giving the craft great versatility without reliance upon a tender vessel.

Intended to be a series build, the first barge features a deck reinforced and certified to carry a 110 ton excavator and spud piles for vessel positioning in shallow waters. Futhure vessels are being configured for fuel lighter operations.

Dsn. #37 – 130′ Submarine support wave-piercing catamaran

pbury — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 11:26:25 +0000

Purpose designed to support a Triton Submarine built to accommodate 3 occupants in wheelchairs and a pilot, this vessel is a versatile platform for coastal trips. The wave-piercing hull will give a smooth ride whilst providing generous room for 3 cabins and machinery area each side.

On the main deck slide in module are accommodated under the roof above. This allows the vessel to be tailored for individual mission ranging from special needs accommodation to laboratories or film editing suites. The large flat area gives a high degree of accessibility and flexibility.

Forward of this are dedicated cabin and dining areas with the vessel bridge and submarine operations centre on the top level.

Dsn. #35 – 95′ submarine support vessel

pbury — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 11:25:40 +0000

The Triton95 is conceived along a different route to most offshore cruising powerboats. The brief was simple: a robust, efficient vessel to carry a crew and a Triton 3300/2 submarine around the world. Influenced by extensive experience in sailing boat design this design evolved into a long, lean, streamlined vessel, heavily orientated towards efficiency and sea-keeping ability. The narrow hull form coupled with a long water line length gives exceptional performance figures with extremely low power requirements and ocean spanning range. The hull geometry and the gyroscopic stabilisation system combine to provide an incomparable ride quality and safety in even extreme conditions.

The Triton95 breaks new ground in terms of economy of operation, comfort and speed, all whilst delivering you and your crew safely to any navigable location.

Dsn. #02 – Double30

pbury — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 11:24:34 +0000

The double30 is a high performance daysailer capable of being sailed solo or crewed. All sail controls lead back to the comfortable teak cockpit which features a full wrap-around coaming. The vessel can be lifted from the top of the retractable carbon keel. The retractable rudder – also carbon – makes the boat easily trailable and ramp launchable. The twin spreader, deck stepped, carbon mast supports an efficient and easily handled sailplan, giving speeds usually associated with much larger vessels, while the optional electric propulsion system provides silent and pollution free powering if required. Featuring a unique combination of traditional aesthetics and contemporary racing yacht technology, the double30 offers a refreshing approach to the modern daysailer.

Classic ship Alma Doepel structural analysis progressing

pbury — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 11:52:31 +0000

Bury design has been working for the past three years with the restoration team for the Alma Doepel. Built in 1904 the 130′ long wooden vessel has been out of service for some years, previously working as a sail training ship.

The new owners intend to fully restore her to commercial sea going standards and put her back to work into her sail training role.

Bury design has been tasked to create a structural restoration plan which addresses the keel hogging problem the vessel currently exhibits.

Working in conjunction with VPAC a full member by member Finite Element Analysis of the vessel was developed. This model was then used to determine the cause of the current structural deformations and to evaluate various remedial works possible.

The process is ongoing however the ship is expected to be lifted from the water and works started by early 2012.

34m Silver Star in service with Bury design structures

pbury — Wed, 12 May 2010 02:41:41 +0000

34m Aluminium catamaran for oil/gas exploration work

Working closely with the builder, Commercial Catamarans, Bury design engineered and certified a number of machinery structural foundations for this vessel. This included two hiab crane foundations, 20 ton winch mounts and the A-frame foundations. The vessel is constructed entirely of welded aluminum.

All work was done to DNV standards and approved by the local marine safety organization. Bury design used Strand7 Finite Element Analysis to undertake all structural evaluations, allowing tailoring of structure to suit each specific situation.

Bury design also carried out stability testing for the vessel and produced intact and damaged stability assessments. Consequently the vessel is now in commercial survey for offshore waters for up to 34 crew and passengers.
