Pipe Laying Floats
Pipeline Installation and Pipeline Deployment Buoys
The pipeline laying floats can be strapped to the pipeline to reduce the tension and weight as pipeline deployment installation buoyancy during the launch of a pipeline. The pipe deployment floats modules also can be used to provide buoyancy when pulling the pipeline underwater.
We manufacture various tie-in pipeline foam buoys to provide the best float solution for the different pipe laying buoyancy requirements. We make the shallow water and deep water pipe deployment floaters down to 300m of depth. If necessary, higher depths can be reached.
To meet the different customer’s requirements, we are making the pipeline foam buoys in two different buoyancy modules. One-piece float and modular floats. Our pipeline foam buoys are fabricated with the different density closed cell foam cell depending on the depth requirement, covered by polyethylene skin/polyurethane elastomer outer skin. The skin also can be reinforced by nylon filament upon request. Each buoyancy modules have banding grooves to secure the buoys to the pipeline. The end fitting can be designed for the easy handling operation. The floats can be fixed on pipes with different types of straps or wire rope according to necessity.

Tie-in Type Pipe Laying Floats Specification
DOOWIN pipe-laying foam float buoys are designed depending on the pipeline’s diameter, working water depth, and project requirements. We can make the below-type pipeline installation buoys and other buoyancy modules upon the client’s request. The bottoms have special curve designs to work with different diameter pipelines.
The buoyancy and weight are based on the working depth. Because we use different surface foam materials and syntactic foam for different water depths, the weight and buoyancy of the same-size floats are different. The drawings and picture references are for illustration purposes only.
