Rebel Marine

Our team working alongside Alltask Limited on the current phase of works at Ryde Pier. Ryde Pier in Zone 2 is closed to Island Line services from September 2024 to May 2025 for vital maintenance and repairs. The work aims to extend the life of the historic pier by up to 60 years. This phase of the project had the need to erect a 40ft x 40ft suspended scaffold deck. Due to the increased span length, traditional methods were unsuitable due to risks posed by weather and tidal conditions at the site. A more innovative approach was necessary to overcome these constraints and ensure the project’s success. The solution involved erecting the 40ft scaffold span off-site in Rebel Marine’s boatyard. This process was carried out in one 40ft section, which was then transported using the designed modular floating pontoon to the site using a series of carefully planned steps: 1. A 40ft scaffold section was constructed in the controlled environment of the boatyard, minimising on-site risks and delays.
2. Once constructed, the scaffold section was floated to the site on designed modular floating pontoons supplied and operated by Rebel Marine. The timing, weather and tide forecast was meticulously planned by Rebel Marine.
3. Using block and tackle systems, the 40ft section was raised and secured in place with heavy-duty beam clamps.
4. On completion of the main permanent works, the 40ft scaffold span deck will be lowered back onto the floating pontoon below. The scaffolding will then be transported to the adjacent bay, and the installation process will be repeated all over again. This innovative approach provided several key advantages: Reduced On-Site Risks: Conducting the primary scaffold erection off-site mitigated risks associated with weather and tidal delays. Time and Cost Savings: By minimising on-site activities and streamlining the installation process, the project timeline was shortened, resulting in significant cost savings. Client Satisfaction: The efficient and creative methodology was well received by the client, showcasing our team’s commitment to excellence and adaptability.

Lymington Viaduct Christmas Blockade Wk39/40/41: A Successful Collaboration! This festive season, Rebel Marine in partnership with Octavius Infrastructure and the Network Rail Southern Renewals Enterprise, accomplished a significant milestone in the blockade works for Lymington Viaduct. Constructed in 1884, this impressive 10-span structure plays a crucial role in carrying the railway over Lymington Harbour, providing vital access to the Wightlink | Isle of Wight Ferries. The viaduct is supported by nine pairs of piers that uphold the main girders, with cross girders connecting them to support rail bearers, which in turn hold the track on specially designed hardwood wheel timbers. Our team operated 24 hours a day for 15 days, completing 46 shifts all through Christmas and the New Year. On-site, we utilized an array of equipment, including: - 2 workboats - 460m² of modular pontoons - 2 crane pontoon barges with spud legs - 1 spider crane - 1 marine knuckle boom crane - 2 tower lights The initial task involved deploying modular pontoons and workboats to facilitate the installation of scaffolding beneath the viaduct. Once that was set up, our spider crane, mounted on the modular pontoons, was able to lift out the old rail bearers and install the newly fabricated replacements, along with various other materials and equipment essential for the project. The modular pontoons had been pre-loaded further down the river before the blockade and were then floated into position to serve as temporary storage. Throughout the blockade, the crane and pontoons provided ongoing support, and once the work was completed, they were used to demobilize equipment and transport redundant materials back downstream for unloading. Thereafter, our focus shifted to the removal of scaffolding to prepare for the next phase of works. We are especially grateful to our partners at Four-Tees Engineers Ltd, Amber Scaffolding Ltd, EIS Services Group, AW Corrosion and Sonic Rail Services Ltd. The dedication and teamwork across the entire supply chain were key contributors to the success of this project. Thank you to everyone involved!

New addition to the fleet🏗️🎉 The Jekko SPX532 is the largest mini crane in its category able to pass through a single door, it offers substantial lifting capacity in relation to its weight, dimensions. Adding to our extensive range of specialist equipment and plant. Complementing our floating marine plant and cranes, this latest addition will offer more capability in harder to reach areas where a crane would normally be required to lift a marine crane onto the pontoon. Our new spider crane can launch the pontoons then track itself onto the deck to be set up. Important features include the 1 tonne hydraulic flyjib, the maximum height of which, at 17.3 metres, can be compared to that of a higher category of crane. This spider crane can be put on a trailer and towed by a 4x4. Self levelling outriggers. Virtual wall/ Working range limitation. 4 independent ‘J’ level stability areas Self diagnostic error system Pick and carry duties EN13000 Certification

Newest addition🏗️

We’ve officially kicked off a four-week line closure to repair and preserve the historic Ryde Pier structure!   Our rail team will be renewing approximately 600 metres of track, installing new GRP fencing, walkways, and troughing. As well as upgrading signalling systems to keep the pier safe and future-proof for many years of passenger use.   Ahead of this our colleagues have already achieved gold status in Network Rail's Route to Gold initiative! This achievement recognises the months of preparation works including civil works, creating temporary access points, and delivery of several tonnes of materials via pontoons and ferries.   A huge good luck to everyone involved in this essential project. https://lnkd.in/eNWd6T6s #InfrastructureImprovements #Railway #RydePier #Enhancements #Track #BringingPeopleTogether Isayas T.

🌊 *** 7 days to go until Swim the Solent for IPMNDF! *** 🌊 Let’s talk about what it takes to be one of our incredible swimmers. 🏊♀️ Having trained diligently for months, our 31 swimmers are now in the final stretch of their preparations for next week’s swim. They do not take this on light-heartedly, and a key element of being eligible for this swim is that everyone must complete an officially timed qualifying swim. ** Why the Qualifying Swim? ** ⏲ Evaluating our swimmers’ physical stamina and swimming skills is essential to ensure they are well-equipped to handle the challenges of completing the crossing. Therefore, all our swimmers are required to complete an official time-over-distance qualifying swim. This time trial allows us to gauge their endurance, speed, and overall swimming capability and allocate them to a swim pod. ** Why a Swim Pod? ** 🏊♂️ 🏊♀️ By reviewing and comparing their official qualifying swim time, we can group swimmers with similar abilities into the right swim pods ensuring a safer and more coordinated swim. ** Shout out to our Amazing Swimmers! ** This year we have 31 truly amazing swimmers, who are currently experiencing a swag of emotions. The Swim the Solent, in either direction – Ryde to Stokes Bay – is approximately 3 miles. It is a major shipping lane and experiences strong tidal currents. It's also a popular area for water sports, including yachting. So those 3 miles or so can be longer for the swimmers as they navigate these currents. We've got them covered though, with a dedicated kayaker assigned to each swimmer, lead and tail kayakers, walkie-talkies ensuring everyone stays connected—from shore support to safety boats to kayakers—a fleet of safety boats with Swimmer in the Water Flags on them thanks to Rebel Marine, medics, first aiders, and Harbour Master approvals and notifications in place so everyone who is on the water knows the event is taking place. Plus, there's immense love and support from their families and all of us, along with massive hugs waiting for them as they emerge from the water. ** Join us ** 🙏 If you want to join us on the beaches to welcome cheer and clap the swimmers in, then make your way down to Stokes Bay or Ryde on the 15th and 16th of July. We will share times closer to these dates, so you know when to join us! ** Help Us Support Our Swimmers! ** 🤗 If you’re looking for a way to support our amazing swimmers as they take on the Swim the Solent challenge, consider donating on our JustGiving page. Your support is vital in the fight against MND and encourages every swimmer on their journey. https://lnkd.in/ekQvkr89

Isle of Wight based workboat and special vehicle and plant charter company Rebel Marine recently completed a critical and time-sensitive project in Cowes Harbour: replacing a lost navigation mark. The entire process, from contract award to project completion, spanned just 30 hours. The task involved replacing a navigation mark that had been positioned on top of a pole at the end of a concrete and stone jetty for many years. Given the low water in spring’s vernal equinox, the tidal window for executing the project was extremely short. The site, in a busy part of Cowes town, presented access challenges due to its proximity to a popular area. A new navigation mark had to be fabricated from steel and painted. This included a new galvanized metal pole and a metal box section to secure it to the jetty. The Rebel Marine team constructed, prepped and painted the mark, ensuring it was ready for immediate installation. Because of the site’s limited access, the navigation mark was loaded onto Rebel’s crane trailer, with additional equipment transported on its Iveco flatbed truck. The lowest tide, predicted at 18:30, dictated the timing of the operation. The company positioned everything needed in Cowes town centre, ready for when the tide exposed the exact location on the jetty. Read the full story on Maritime Journal; https://lnkd.in/eGXnfuW6
