Gangway Servicing

TMDr gangway marina servicing is the maintenance and repair activities conducted at a marina's gangway or walkway structure. 

​

TMDr marina servicing typically includes regular inspections, cleaning, and repairs to ensure the gangway's safety, functionality, and longevity. TMDr gangway marina servicing involves:

​

1. Inspection: Regular inspections to identify any signs of wear, damage, or structural issues. This includes checking the gangway's support structure, decking, handrails, hinges, and other components. 

​

2. Cleaning: Gangways are exposed to various weather conditions, saltwater, debris, and foot traffic, which can lead to dirt, grime, and slippery surfaces. Cleaning the gangway helps maintain its appearance, prevents slips and falls, and removes any potential hazards.

​

3. Repairs: If any damage or wear is identified during TMDr inspections, repairs are undertaken promptly. This may involve fixing or replacing broken or loose boards, repairing handrails, reinforcing structural components, or addressing any other issues to ensure the gangway's stability.

​

4.Anti-slip treatment: Gangways can become slippery due to moisture, algae and being beside the ocean. TMDr apply anti-slip treatments, such as non-skid coatings or abrasive materials, which increases traction and reduces slipping. 

​

5. Painting or coating: Gangways may require periodic painting or coating to protect them from corrosion, UV rays, and general wear and tear. TMDr can help extend the lifespan of the gangway and maintain its fresh look. 

​

6. Lubrication: TMDr apply lubrication when there are moving parts, such as hinges and joints, needing regular lubrication to ensure smooth operation and to prevent rust or corrosion.

​

7. Accessibility compliance: TMDr comply with the needs of accessibility standards to ensure that the gangways are accessible to people with disabilities. Retro fitting or modifying gangways to meet these requirements may be necessary.

​

It's important for marina owners or operators to establish a regular servicing schedule and work with TMDr who specialise in marina maintenance and repair. This helps ensure the safety of marina visitors and the longevity of the gangway structure.
