Buoyancy Module Friction Testing

CUSTOMER Technip
CHALLENGE Evaluation of the friction co-efficients of rubber pads used to secure buoyancy module packages to a coated pipeline
SCOPE OF WORK Fast track development and execution of test programme using Red Marine’s TR-50 test rig to compare the relative performance of two pad types in both wet and dry conditions
RESULT Rapid delivery of friction co-efficient data to verify the installation and operation of buoyancy modules on a subsea pipeline
