Pipe laying floats description
Pipe laying floats are primarily used to assist in installing pipelines in water. With pipe laying floats, the pipeline can float at a controlled depth. The floats prevent the pipeline from swaying with the current, improving stability. This makes it easier for workers to position the pipeline correctly, significantly reducing the difficulty of the installation process compared to simply placing it directly. Pipe laying floats are particularly suitable for pipeline installation in shallow water and areas with significant tidal changes. Workers can adjust the spacing and buoyancy of the pipeline floats to position the pipeline appropriately. Pipe laying floats are commonly used in pipeline dredging, subsea pipeline installation, and other coastal construction projects. Although the design of pipe laying floats is very simple, they play a crucial role in actual project applications.
Richiedi un preventivo
Jerryborg manufactures various types of pipe laying floats to meet your specific depth requirements. We offer three material options for our pipeline laying floats: steel, polyurea-coated, and HDPE. The floats are made from closed-cell foam of varying densities and encased in a durable polyethylene or polyurethane elastomer shell. For added reinforcement, we can also incorporate a nylon fiber reinforcement layer.
Each pipeline foam buoy features integrated strapping grooves for securely attaching the float to the pipe. Jerryborg provides custom end fittings to simplify handling and installation. Depending on your needs, various fastening methods can be used to secure the floats to the pipe, such as straps or steel cables.
Jerryborg Marine Pipe Laying Float Advantages
Foam Body
Our pipe laying floats use closed-cell polyethylene foam inside. This foam does not absorb water, so the buoyancy will not decrease even after prolonged use in water.
Outer Protective Design
The float is coated with a polyurethane elastomer. Impacts are inevitable during use, but the polyurethane elastomer coating provides excellent protection.
Reinforced Structural Layer
We can also add a nylon mesh as a reinforcing layer for the pipe laying float. The nylon reinforcement reduces the risk of tearing.
Flexible Buoyancy Configuration
Our floats are flexibly configurable, and the foam density can be adjusted according to the customer’s specific project. Different-density pipe-laying floats can be suitable for different water depths.
Adjustable Size
The groove under our floats can be adjusted to match the pipe size. This allows the float to match different pipe specifications, facilitating installation.
Customization Accepted
Jerryborg Marine accepts customization requests. If you have special requirements for the size, buoyancy, or structure of the float, we can customize it to meet your specific application.
Specification
To ensure optimal installation of the float on the pipe, Jerryborg Marine designs pipe-laying floats to accommodate different pipe diameters and water depths. Our pipe laying floats feature a curved groove at the bottom to perfectly match the curvature of the pipe. Due to variations in internal foam and surface materials, the weight and buoyancy of the pipe laying floats may differ. Below are the dimensions of our commonly used pipe laying floats.
