Flex-lay solutions for the global subsea industry
CAPABILITY OVERVIEW Aquatic, an Acteon company, continues to build a strong global reputation for its ability to lay and retrieve flexible and semi-rigid product on the seabed. With more than 40 years experience of onshore and offshore installations, our engineering solutions and capabilities are developed to meet customer needs for any project or specific challenge. This is literally our strength in depth. DELIVERING ASSURED OPTIMISED PROJECT OUTCOMES, THROUGH THE CONSISTENT PROVISION OF KNOWLEDGE, EXPERTISE, EQUIPMENT RANGE, REACH AND APPROACH TENSIONER The unit can be set to operate in manual mode or automatic pay in/pay-out, i.e., constant tension render mode.
INSTALLATION REEL Our largest reels have a capacity of 350Te, and depending on weight and outside diameter, can accommodate partitions for up to four different flexible products, to be spooled on and off a single reel. MODULAR DRIVE SYSTEM The Aquatic tower driven systems are capable of driving a range of reels. The unit is fitted with horizontal cylinders to engage the drive hubs into the reel, and vertical hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower the drive hubs of reels at full capacity.
CAROUSEL The carousel s drive comes from up to six hydraulic motors mounted at three stations, driving via a sprocket gear to the chain attached on the outside lip of the bottom flange wedges. LEVEL WIND TOWER The speed of the tensioner and carousel are controlled by the operator in the level-wind-tower control cabin to maintain constant tension on the product being spooled.
OFFSHORE EXPERTISE Our offshore teams are trained, guided and challenged to maintain operational efficiency in demanding marine installation projects. They are committed to delivering a collaborative service and their capabilities include, but are not limited to: providing methodology consultancy services; assisting in the development of procedures; advising on the modes and limitations of equipment; delivering technical advice on deck-set-up. TRANSPOOLING To ensure product is spooled evenly on and off the carousel, the tensioner on the level-wind-tower is lowered and raised, and is also capable of a small amount of horizontal movement towards or away from the carousel reel, as a further means of compensation.
