Trelleborg Develops Standardized Buoyancy Module System
Trelleborg’s offshore operation recently developed a new Standardized Buoyancy Module system to reduce lead times for customers. An innovative ‘off the shelf’ solution, it offers a viable alternative to custom options for some projects. The Standardized Buoyancy Module is made up of small elements that stack together to increase the overall uplift of the complete distributed buoyancy module. The buoyancy segments are designed to mechanically lock around the clamp to securely attach the assembly to the desired location on the riser. Jonathan Fox, Senior Product Development Engineer
