The pipeline foam buoys can be strapped to the pipeline to reduce the tension and weight as pipeline installation buoyancy. The pipe-laying float modules also can be used to provide buoyancy when pulling the pipeline underwater.
We manufacture various pipeline foam buoys to provide the best float solution for the different pipe laying buoyancy requirements. We make the shallow water and deepwater pipe laying floaters down to 3000msw.
To meet the different customer's requirements, we are making the pipeline foam buoys in two different buoyancy modules. One-piece float and modular floats. Our pipeline foam buoys are fabricated with different density closed cell foam cells depending on the depth requirement, covered by polyethylene skin/polyurethane elastomer outer skin. The skin also can be reinforced by nylon filament upon request. Each buoyancy modules have banding grooves to secure the buoys to the pipeline. The end fitting can be designed for easy handling operation.
These series of floats are used to break down the immersion velocity during pipe laying operations, as well as avoiding excessive bending of the pipes at the time of deployment at sea.
Professional Offshore Solid Buoyancy Modules Solution from the surface to subsea 7000msw.
We provide a comprehensive range of resilient foam buoys products with advance solid buoyancy material production and polymer engineering.
Our offshore buoyancy buoys generally consist of a closed-cell foam core encapsulated with tough, resistant polyurethane outer skin, combined with high-quality steelwork. We can make subsurface mooring buoys, cable floats, pipeline floaters, ROV buoyancy modules, special shape buoys, and other syntactic foam products. The out skin can be made by polyethylene shell and polyurethane elastomer.
General surface support buoys are extensively used in single-point mooring (SPM) systems. The three main types are cylindrical buoys, chain-through buoys, and pick-up buoys.
General surface buoys are constructed by resilient closed cell polyethylene /EVA foam around the inner central steelwork, covered by polyurethane (PU) outer kin. The resilient closed cell polyethylene/EVA foam core guarantees self-fendering and is unsinkable even in case of damage. And self-colored polyurethane elastomer skin is resistant to abrasion and ultraviolet rays degradation. For extreme service environments, the polyurethane elastomer skin can be reinforced by nylon to protective coating has higher tear strength, making the buoy long-lasting and virtually maintenance-free.
