Our patent pending distributed buoyancy solution has been developed specifically for offshore wind.
The XCS solution replaces standard internal clamps with only 2 to 3 external clamps. The buoyancy chain is connected with Dyneema tethers. This system is more cost effective and quicker to install than today’s industry standards.
Benefits
- Components use proven technology in a novel arrangement
- Lower overall cost per system
- Reduction in installation time on board vessel
- Clamps are possible to inspect during lifetime
- Standard buoyancy elements can accept range of cable sizes
- Clamping easily tailored to cable requirements/limitations
- Designed spacing ensured with pre-made intermediate tethers
