In addition to the design and supply of machinery control and monitoring equipment, Bond can also undertake projects on a turnkey basis. This will include installation or supervision of clients own labour to install the equipment and assistance with commissioning to final handover to the customer. Bond project engineers will liaise closely with the shipyard, shipowners and Classification surveyors to ensure the installation meets specification and Classification requirements. Subsequent to installation and guarantee period Bond will provide service and maintenance as required including spare part supply wherever the vessel may be trading.
Power management system based on the Lyngso Marine 2100 equipment for operating four GMT diesel alternators each providing 1200kW. Full power management via remote workstations is provided to allow automatic start/stop on power demand, auto restart after blackout and full safety monitoring to shutdown any machine which may suffer abnormal operating conditions.
Total installation and rewire of a cargo valve control system on a 250,000T dwt oil tanker which was found to require replacement after the vessel had been 'laid up'. The existing cargo valve control system on a 250,000T dwt oil tanker was found to be obsolete with no spare parts available to repair the system. Bond supplied new electronics compatible to the cargo valves and installed & commissioned the system whilst the vessel was alongside. At the same time as the latter work was carried out the vessel's tank gauging and inert gas system was overhauled and returned to satisfactory working order.
The main propulsion and boiler controls of a steam turbine vessel was replaced using standard Asea and Babcock electronic systems respective. The redundant equipment was removed from the machinery control console leaving clear access for the new equipment on 'drop in' plates to be installed. All new systems were rewired to the retained equipment and commissioned to working order.
The machinery control console of a twin diesel main propulsion vessel had over the years become cluttered with modified equipment and bolt on enclosures. The shipowner decided to replace the machinery monitoring system and at the same time upgrade the control console to make it easier for ships staff to remotely operate the plant. All the equipment mounted facia's of the horseshoe shaped control console were removed and pre-frabricated drop in plates installed and rewired/repiped to existing field terminal wiring and bulkhead piping connections.
 
The opportunity was taken to centralise all the machinery monitoring using a VDU based system thereby assisting ship operators to be aware immediately from one location that abnormal machinery conditions may be arising. A printer was included in the new arrangement to record all events occurring on the monitored channels of the machinery and plant.
 
The existing local boiler control enclosure required total overhaul and to meet delivery and operating requirements the ships owner decided to fit a new enclosure completely. The new boiler control enclosure was assembled and tested in the Bond workshop before transporting and installing on the vessel. All fixings, piping and electrical connections were made identical to ensure minimum installation time requirement. The new boiler enclosure was lowered through the engine room hatch and located onto the existing frame work. Piping and electrical connections were easily made with the actual installation taking less than a days work.
A class of vessels built in the late 1970's used fluidics to control the twin diesel propulsion plant on a 30,000T dwt tanker. The fluidics equipment had operated satisfactorily for twenty years until it became unsupportable in the mid 1990's leading to replacement by electronic (PLC) equipment. The same size rack was used by the new electronic system and with minor plant modifications the new equipment was installed and commissioned with minimum disruption.
