Case Study 2 – Spud Dredge Wear Pads

A customer in Civil Contracting in the Marine Industry contacted Blue Ocean Industries.

They needed wear pads for fitment of a spud carrier system on a Dredge.

The customer was recommended Tufcot® T100MP Marine Grade due to its suitability to saltwater environments and extreme conditions.

It is maintenance free and has self-lubricating characteristics making it the perfect solution.

Again, our close relationship with Blue Ocean Industries ensured the raw materials were sourced and available in the shortest possible time.
