Looking for small steel barge plans

[BARGEASE]

Hi I am trying to find detailed cad plans in digital format for a small steel flat bottomed/top dumb work barge, size approx 6 to 8 metres by 4m wide. load capacity of greater than 6 ton, to be set up as a pile driving barge for construction of small jettys etc

Which state are you in?

If this is a commercial venture it is going to need to conform and you'll have to jump through the hoops. Plans will not be free since you're going to need to submit detailed drawings calcs and compliance to your marine authority.

Plans would be around 2 to $3k depending on the complexity of the machinery attachment.

Nothings simple these days ..

Cheers

Hi Mike I am in Tassie
I recognise the hoops and costs etc but wondering if there are any plans from simialar setups (eg small piledriving barges) that could come off the shelf so to speak. Plans for a standard dumb barge 8x4 would be a good starting point.
Intend to have it flat pack prefabed then shipped and assembled here by fab engineers.

Unfortunately they all need to be designed around the equipment, $3k is partially off the shelf, $12k is design from scratch. Can also design modification of existing barges.

If you want to follow this up further with us email all your specs to engden@aapt.net.au We are in Hobart.

Cheers

Hi Bargease,
I am a Naval Architect from India. Can you please send me your email address

I'm interested in building a barge similar to the one shown in this link's video: http://www.astillerogustavomarquez.com/video1.htm
However, since I cannot afford buying it new, I'll appreciate it if you can please let me know if you can provide the plans as I have a welding team that can help me with the construction but depending on that I provide the plans. Thank you.

I have designed some steel barges
1. Length =39.0m
Breadth = 7.0m
Depth = 1.80 m
This can carry 10 numbers of 20 foot containers on the deck.
It has hydraulic propulsion, speed = 8.5 knots
This one is with a ramp for driving the vehicles on to the deck.
2. Smaller three barges for using a mechanically movable dredger on board.

3. Many Small pontoons
Can you please send me your email address so that I can send the photographs of the barges.

Also
please inform me the following
1. What is the cargo you are going to carry.
2. Is it deck cargo or in the hold
3. How much you want to carry
4. Speed required
5. Is there any draft/ depth restriction
6. Any classification requirement

Hello Vishnu,
First of all, thanks a lot for your reply.
This barge doesn't need any propulsion as it will be linked to a cable with a pulley that goes from one side of the river to the other and the strong current of the river will simply move it back and forth. There are no depth restrictions as the river is very deep, more than 10 meters during the summer. The main use is for crossing the river with our Nissan Frontier pick-up truck but we will also need it for crossing a Bulldozer and other heavy machinery for a friend that's going to build a small road on the other side of the river. We might also use it for crossing groups of 10-20 heads of cattle but they won't add up more than 10 tons.
My e-mail address is andresaway@hotmail.com and thanks again.
