Abstract

A shock absorbing bumper system assembly 10 is provided for attachment to a structural member 12 of an offshore platform. The assembly 10 utilizes a vertical column 34 supported from arms 20 and 22. An outer protector 32 surrounds the column 34 and receives the impacts. A pair of resilient ring elements 38 and 40 are positioned in an axially spaced relationship and bonded onto the column 34. The rings 38 and 40 conform to the annular space formed between protector 32 and column 34. The column 34 may be connected to the arms by resilient connectors 26 and 28 or so-called shock cells (Fig. 10). The system can be fabricated by forming subassemblies comprising rings bonded onto the exterior of short lengths of pipe. <IMAGE> [GB2054093A]
