Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2009 • Category 5: CAE Special Projects 205 5 Mechanical ships lift dock, Goa within a channel, over a relatively large distance. This provides an alternative to locks. There are no ship lifts in The Netherlands, although they may be found in Belgium for example, in La Louvière and StrépyThieu, and in Germany, such as in Henrichenburg and Niederfinow, among others. Mechanical Lift Dock projects Iv-Consult is currently working on the engineering for projects in Dubai, Goa, Sydney and Mega Yacht Lifting System projects. Most Mechanical Lift Dock systems are tailor-made and are capable of handling between 6.000 and 25.000 tons ship weight, with lengths between 100 and 230 metres. Mega Yacht Lifting Systems – MYLS for short – are an exception to this. For the GOA lift Dock Iv has used Scia Engineer to design the various parts of the structure, such as the trestles, trailer/boogie frames and the dock platform. The trestles are standard frames to carry the ship and are heavily loaded under various circumstances. The trestles scan be lifted with the use of hydraulic trailer/ bogie frames which uses a rails that is integrated in the dock platform. The various structures are build out of plates and therefore Iv Consult used the plate module to design the specific parts. Trestle design model 4 girders
