Security bullwork, perimeter protection system and perimeter protection method

摘要

In one aspect, the present invention provides a security bulwark (1) for mounting outside the peripheral railing of a ship or offshore facility. The bullwork has a front face 2 comprising protruding mounds 3a, 3b. The mound has lower sides 4a, 4b that provide an overhang to the bullwalk. The mound is also convex in the width direction (A-A') of the bullwork 1. The invention also provides a perimeter protection system comprising a plurality of such security bulwarks arranged side by side and adjacent to each other. Finally, the present invention further provides a method of protecting the periphery of a ship or offshore facility. The method includes positioning a plurality of security bulwarks alongside and adjacent to each other along a peripheral railing of a ship or offshore facility, attaching some of the plurality of security bulwarks to the railing, and a plurality not attached to the railing. And connecting the rest of the security bulwarks to any one of the plurality of security bulwarks attached to the railing. Thus, even if the security bulwark 1 cannot be mounted directly on the surrounding railing, for example due to a gap in the railing or an obstacle obstructing the railing, the bulwark can still be located in the same position outside the railing and the surrounding It can be securely mounted in its position by being connected to an adjacent security bulwark that can be mounted on the handrail.
