Balmoral Comtec System / Package
Bespoke buoyancy: midwater arches and riser tower buoyancy
Custom buoyancy systems, including midwater arches for floating offshore wind cables and syntactic foam riser tower buoyancy for hybrid riser towers.
Description
Balmoral designs bespoke buoyancy systems for deepwater oil and gas and offshore wind, supported by a 250,000sqft manufacturing and storage facility.
Key features
- Midwater arches: submerged arch structures with modular, rotationally moulded half-disk buoys hold floating wind power cables at the optimal depth, reducing dynamic movement and extending fatigue life; components are recyclable at decommissioning
- Riser tower buoyancy: syntactic foam modules for hybrid riser towers give hydrodynamic stability, aid surface tow-out and reduce tensile loads in the central tendon pipe
- Riser tower designs to 3000msw and up to 55°C
- DURAFLOAT HT high-Tg epoxy syntactic foam covers 30-55°C and was used on the CLOV project offshore Angola
Applications
Floating offshore wind dynamic cables and hybrid riser towers in ultra-deepwater fields.
