Riser Buoyancy


Riser Buoyancy

Marine Riser Buoyancy Modules are custom built to suit the specific operational and riser interface requirements of the customer. Matrix Marine Riser Buoyancy utilises composite syntactic foam and advanced composite laminate technologies to manufacture robust, lightweight modules that are capable of incremental depth ratings of up to 4500msw (15000ft).

Making riser buoyancy "fit for purpose" means taking into account the treatment that the riser and the buoyancy sees from fit-up, handling, loading and running the riser. Historically, buoyancy modules can crack, split, lose chunks of material and present operational and safety problems during their lifetime. Matrix riser buoyancy modules are reinforced to make them considerably tougher than the industry standard. Features such as double thickness FRP Skins with Kevlar safety mesh externally and internally and an internal composite "endoskeleton" as standard makes Matrix modules tougher and safer to use.
