Foam Buoys

Foam Buoys

DOOWIN manufacture foam floats to provide the best solution for the different pipe laying buoyancy requirements. DOOWIN make the shallow water and deep water pipe laying floaters down to 3000msw.

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. DOOWIN pipeline laying floats are fabricated with the different density closed foam cell as the depth. Meawhile, it covered by polyethylene skin/polyurethane elastomer outer skin. Nylon filament upon request could be the skin type. Each buoyancy modules have banding grooves to secure the buoys to the pipeline. We also design the end fittings in order to handle operation easily.

Foam Buoys Specifications

DOOWIN pipe laying foam float buoys are designed depending on the different diameter, working water depth, and project’s requirements. We can make the paral type, oval type, and other non-standard type buoyancy module upon the client’s request.

Arc-Shaped Pipe Floaters

Recently, we designed one kind of new arc-shaped pipe float buoys. This type of pipe float buoys can connect with the pipe closer to get more buoyancy in the shallow water condition. We can make pipe float buoys according to the different diameter pipe. The buoyancy is from 1ton to 10ton each unit.

Arc-shaped pipe floater has three lifting webbing sling. So pipe laying float can be strapped to the pipeline to reduce the tension and weight in the pipeline during the installation. The pipe laying float buoys can provide the buoyancy when pulling the pipeline underwater.
