Definition
Shock-resistant polyurethane protective tube, a protector of communications and electricity cables, protects special pipes and submarine cables for sea floor installation from shock and abrasion.
Feature
Polyurethane protective tube is arranged in split form. Each section overlaps with the next, and in the overlapping section are interlocking profiles that provide axial stiffness to hold each section together, which provides continuous protection for the entire length of the component. Furthermore, each module is arranged with radial keying, increasing the stiffness of the system against compression.
Benefit
• Interlocking and overlapping to prevent ingress of material
• Impact and abrasion protection
• Optional ballast
Specific application
• Seabed touchdown locations
• Dropped object zones
• Submarine cable crossings
• Bundled together cables and pipelines
In order to facilitate handling of the casing offshore, the usual span length of the polyurethane protective tube is around 100 meters; however, special lengths can be made in order to satisfy project-specific needs.
