Balmoral UK has created an integrated a unique CPS.
The patented system, which is available in three standard sizes, includes a combination of bend restrictors and a bend stiffener, foundation interface device, standard dynamic unit and a detachable pull head, all of which is designed, manufactured and brought together in-house before being tested on the company’s test rig.
Solutions for varying apertures on monopile installations are available as well as J-tube and I-tube options for jacket structures.
The patented fibre reinforced technology adds stiffness to the system controlling the curvature during the project lifespan
The low weight components of the system permit efficient transportation, handling and assembly on deck. The system also allows for diverless removal of the CPS should cable maintenance be required.
Balmoral says it is totally committed to the renewables sector and has invested heavily in its engineering, manufacturing and testing services. It said the company’s 40-year engineering and technical background was critical in creating the new CPS system.
