Abstract

In the challenging offshore and subsea environments, traditional methods of cable laying often involve large equipment and specialized vessels, which lead to high project costs and time-consuming processes. However, inflatable buoyancy solutions offer a breakthrough alternative that’s transforming cable installation. These innovative systems not only streamline project timelines but also significantly cut down on transportation costs and environmental impact.

Inflatable buoyancy systems demonstrate their sustainability by reducing the environmental impact associated with cable laying. When compared to alternatives such as steel tanks or solid foam buoyancy modules, the compact and lightweight design of inflatable buoyancy systems significantly reduces transportation costs and carbon footprint. Furthermore, their reusability, assuming no damage occurs during deployment and recovery, further enhances their eco-friendliness and cost-effectiveness.

With three tailored solutions—Mono Buoyancy Units, Dual Boom Buoys, and Tubular Buoyancy—this approach allows for flexible, cost-effective, and eco-friendly cable laying. Ready to explore how inflatable buoyancy is changing subsea cable installation and how our solutions can help you in your next project?

In this exclusive whitepaper, which was presented at the ADIPEC Technical Conference by our subject matter experts, you will learn the technology and the advantages of using inflatable buoyancy for cable laying over traditional methods.
