Outside the regular ‘off the shelf’ bearings Drie-D specializes in custom bearing designs to realize appealing projects to show and surprise the world with what is possible with the knowledge, materials and technology. They made and designed bearings for the largest pipe-lay vessels in the world, a massive revolving bridge, for deep sea ROVs, for the most sophisticated drilling rigs, high speed trains, formula 1 racing cars, the largest sluices in the world and the biggest Ferris wheel in the world.My responsibilities as ‘project engineer’ where: - Project management- Engineering and design of composite bearing systems- Calculations and stress analyses- Sales & Customer relations- Product development- Member of the innovation workgroupInteresting projects that I worked on:Eye of Dubai Ferris wheel, Allseas Pioneering Spirit, Bluewater FPSO CLOV Project, Aquamarine Oyster Show less
