Distributed Buoyancy​

​

Distributed buoyancy is commonly used in offshore energy to support pipelines, cables, and subsea infrastructure.
Our modules are engineered from syntactic foam for strength, durability, and deepwater pressure resistance. Strapping systems securely attach buoyancy without damaging protected subsea assets.

OUR TRACK-RECORD
Our engineering principles applied to our buoyancy design utilises consistent materials, processes, and testing validation to ensure durability in demanding offshore environments. The shared technology across our products allows us to deliver dependable, scalable solutions.

EXPERIENCE
Our team brings decades of subsea engineering experience and such, we have developed a novel approach to the supply. We have considered the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions in the market-pace and have devised our own solution that solves the prevelant issues akin to the traditional supply.
