RSSIECSBPC Evacuation System

Technical Specification Chute:

Zig-Zag netted chutes are supplied as heat resistant providing heat protection of 600C°and a melting point 800C° Single layered tight knitted netted Nomex/Kevlar vertical escape chute.

Each chute is supplied as a continuous length with 316 stainless steel hoops sewn into each 1.21m section.

Each section has a 1.21m Nomex/Kevlar slide these are opposing on each section and provide

a zig zag effect. Each 1.21m section has a side compartment for egress to the debarkation raft and provides the required adjustable height evacuation point. This chute is designed to operate at varying heights for vessels with changes in ballast levels or locations prone to high wave, sea conditions.

At maximum operating height for both chutes the base will sit in the floor of the debarkation raft with 2.42m additional chute length provided to accommodate a 17° list condition. The additional chute length also provides a redundancy factor for low swell conditions. The last section of the netted chute is connected to the floor of the debarkation raft.

Qty 4 per system steel braided winch ropes are attached at each 2.42m section of the chute column, upon deployment the chute automatically lowers as the winching system lowers the main stabilization platform and life rafts in a controlled descent to (MSL) mean sea level.

Blast Proof Containment (BPC) System:

The Bomb proof containment system is designed to provide protection in volatile situations where there is a possibility of explosion and gas leak. The system is modular and is provided with a main 3.03m L x 2.12m W x 2.12m H container which is bolted to the main cantilever frame.

Attached to the main container are two additional containers, these are used to store the life rafts; the system is fully integrated and supplied as a complete unit. Qty 4 x heavy duty 9071.847Kg each lifting shackles are provided for lifting the bomb proof container into position, providing ease of installation.

Supplied with a 30 Person SOLAS B, Pack Debarkation/Boarding Raft:

Each system is supplied with a debarkation/boarding platform which is packed and sits on the main stabilization plate within the chute container. The raft is self inflating and designed to commence inflation as soon as it reaches sea level. This is achieved by attaching the painter line to the stabilization plate, as the stabilization deck continues to sink when lowered and deployed the shortened debarkation raft painter line releases the inflation valve and is fully inflated in less than 60 seconds.

A range of 12/25/30/37/50 Person Zodiac SOLAS A pack self righting life rafts.

Life Raft configuration is decided by the customer and the system can be designed to take 2 each side of 12/25/30/37/50 or 4 each side dependent on POB requirements

The main rafts are lowered with the main skid assembly and upon reaching sea level roll off their stacking frames. The painter lines are attached to the debarkation/ boarding platform and make ease of recovery when at sea level. The first persons into the debarkation boarding raft pull the main rafts in and pull the painter lines to inflate.

The rafts are then tied off to the debarkation raft until completion of cross boarding. Upon full evacuation the rafts are released and float free awaiting recovery.

Operational & System Performance:

The Escape Chute System is designed to be overhung and in all cases requires an uninterrupted drop to sea level. The stabilization platform when not in use fits directly into the opening of the BPC container and acts as the floor deck for the front section of the evacuation system. The debarkation raft and chute are packed into the center of the stabilization platform with the life rafts stored in containers and stacked two high each side, or 2 x rows of two stacked each side.

The winching system uses braided steel wire that run down and connect to each chute section at 1.21m intervals through the floor of the debarkation raft and attached to the stabilization platform in four places using heavy duty 9071.847kg eyes and shackles.

For deployment the winch requires no power, this is required in cases of black out condition. For recovery the system is recovered using the electric motor.

Deploying the System

Open the main container door and step inside, using the pneumatic knife cut the secondary deployment retaining strap; this is provided to ensure the system is not deployed in error or by accident during inspection or drills. Release the four stabilization platform retaining bars by pulling up on the floor mounted lever and lock in place. The system is now ready for deployment.

Release the break of the winch on move the control lever to the forward position, the main platform will start to deploy at a controlled speed. Check to ensure all winch cables are tight and that the system is deploying evenly. When fully deployed check to ensure the chute has deployed and has not tangled or snagged, check to ensure the boarding raft has fully inflated and that the main life rafts are floating free and attached by there painter lines to the boarding raft.

After carrying out these checks the evacuation can proceed.
