For the safety of offshore wind farm power cables in both subsea cable and J-tube connections, the Bend Stiffener is an innovative cable protection system that was created. It allows for quick and diverless installation into and removal from monopile and J-Tube connections underwater. Integrated system that requires less assembly.
Features of Subsea Cable Protection Systems
1. Proven, robust and dynamic
2. Patented mechanical latch system
3. Extensive track record
4. Protects against:
• impact and abrasion
• scour development
• hydrodynamic cyclic loading
• pinch points
• localised fatigue
• stress concentration
Although many other applications have been discovered across numerous sectors, they were originally created to protect undersea umbilicals, cables, flexible jumpers, flexible assembly lines, and riser landing sites. It can protect pipes, oil pipelines, and undersea umbilical cords from abrasion and falling items because it is made of marine grade polyurethane elastomer.
