Kusukela eNyakatho Melika kuya e-Asia, kusukela eYurophu kuya e-Oceania, imikhiqizo emisha ehlanganisiwe iyavela kwezobunjiniyela basolwandle nolwasolwandle, idlala indima ekhulayo. I-Pultron, inkampani yezinto ezihlanganisiwe ese-New Zealand, e-Oceania, ibambisene nenye inkampani yokuklama nokwakha iziphetho ukuthuthukisa nokukhiqiza i-waler entsha yomkhiqizo ohlanganisiwe.
I-waler iyisigxobo sesakhiwo esifakwe ohlangothini lwengxenye ye-quay, esihlanganisa izintanta eziningi zekhonkrithi, ezibambile ndawonye. I-Waler idlale indima ebalulekile yesakhiwo ekwakhiweni kwesiteshi.
Inamathiselwe edokini elintantayo nge-glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lwenduku namantongomane. Lezi yizinduku ezinde ezifakwe izintambo kuzo zombili izinhlangothi futhi zibanjwe ngamantongomane. Ama-transoms nama-thru-bars ayingxenye ebalulekile yesistimu yedokini yekhonkrithi ye-Unifloat® yaseBellingham.
Izinhlanganisela ze-GFRP zibizwa ngokuthi izinto ezihlakaniphile zokwakha idokodo. Zinezinzuzo eziningi ngaphezu kokhuni, i-aluminium noma insimbi futhi zinomjikelezo wokuphila isikhathi eside. Futhi zinamandla aphezulu okudonswa: Izinhlanganisela zinamandla aphezulu okudonswa (okuphindwe kabili kunensimbi) futhi zilula kune-aluminium. Futhi zimelana nokugoba nokukhathala: Izingcezu ze-GFRP zimelana kakhulu nokugoba nokukhathala, zimelana namagagasi, amagagasi kanye nokunyakaza okuqhubekayo komkhumbi.
Imikhiqizo ye-GFRP ehlanganisiwe inobungani kakhulu nemvelo: izimbobo zivame ukuba yikhaya lezinhlobo ezahlukene zezilwane zasolwandle. Izinhlanganisela azithinti imvelo yasolwandle ngoba azigqwali noma zikhiphe amakhemikhali. Lena yindlela yokuvikela imvelo. Futhi incintisana ngezindleko: Izinhlanganisela ze-GFRP zinikeza ukuqina okuhle kakhulu nokonga impilo yonke, ikakhulukazi uma zisetshenziswa ezindaweni ezisogwini kanye nezasolwandle.
Imikhiqizo ye-GFRP ehlanganisiwe inekusasa eliqhakazile kwezobunjiniyela basolwandle: I-Bellingham yakhe izinsika kwezinye zezindawo ezinhle kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngohlelo olusha lwezinto ezihlanganisiwe, azikho izimpawu ezimbi zokuvuza kokugqwala noma imifantu yekhonkrithi evela ensimbini egqwalile.
