Advanced Bend Restrictors for Offshore Protection
Split bending limiters prevent over-bending of cables and umbilicals in offshore wind, oil, and gas, enhancing system longevity and reducing maintenance costs.
Versatile and Flexible Cable Protection
The vertebrae bend restrictor, a cutting-edge development in cable protection systems, offers a unique combination of flexibility and durability. Its flexible nature allows it to conform to various cable and umbilical shapes, while its robust design provides essential protection against the risk of over-bending or buckling under pressure in subsea installations.
Reduced Mass and High Strength
The design of the bend restrictors focuses on reducing the mass per meter without sacrificing strength. This reduction is achieved by utilizing advanced polymer materials that maintain their structural integrity, even under extreme operational conditions. This feature is especially beneficial for long-distance subsea cables, such as fiber optic and flowline cables, where weight reduction can significantly improve installation efficiency.
Applications in Subsea and Offshore Operations
From wellhead connections to rigid pipe crossovers, these bend restrictors are essential in protecting cables, umbilicals, and flexible risers across offshore sites. Their use extends to submarine cable protection, ensuring that the infrastructure remains intact when exposed to mechanical stresses, saltwater, and other challenging subsea conditions that can compromise system performance.
Customizable for Diverse Client Needs
Offshore operators benefit from the bend restrictor’s versatility, as it can be tailored for specific applications. Whether it's for thermoplastic composite risers or steel tube umbilicals, these bend restrictors can be customized to fit the technical requirements of each project. Custom solutions also provide an additional layer of protection at critical end terminations, preventing premature wear and damage.
