Trelleborg Announces Next Generation in Buckling Mitigation Buoyancy
Trelleborg Granted License to Develop Chevron TechnologyTrelleborg announced today that it will be developing the next generation of buckling mitigation buoyancy technology. Chevron awarded Trelleborg’s offshore operation a license agreement to develop the patented technology, which includes the design and qualification of this new buoyancy product. In certain offshore conditions, lateral movement of traditional fixed buoyancy modules can cause soil compaction, increased lateral soil resistance and the formation of berms. This condition can cause secondary regions of high stress,
