With all DRIE-D activities there is a big emphasis on providing the technically best solution. This can vary from selecting a better friction material for a specific brake system to increase service intervals, to optimising the complete bearing construction for the mooring system of a 300 metres long Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Tanker (FPSO). Thanks to an extensive stock and very strict agreements with our partners delivery times are short and reliable. Because of our flat organisation and small overhead our price levels are competitive.

Reduction of maintenance and down time always was and always will be a major goal for any port operation. Components break down because of design flaws, insufficient lubrication, less than optimum material choice or simply because the conditions and usage are more severe than foreseen. DRIE-D cannot change operating conditions but everything else falls within our area of expertise.

In the hydropower industry D-glide bearings in the form of bushings, thrust washers, bearing segments and other forms are used in arms, linkages, gates, locks, wicket gates, cleaning racks, hydraulic cylinders, valves and regulator rings etc. They do not require lubrication, can be used dry or in water, withstand shock and vibration and continue to function in all environments long after other bearings have given up.

Bearings in civil structures, such as sluices, drawbridges and revolving bridges face many of the same challenges as hydropower bearings. They have to function in marine environments, reliability must be as close to absolute as possible, maintenance must be reduced to a minimum and design efficiency is always an important criterion.
