Optimal buoyancy and anchoring solutions for an offshore platform installation

Tailor-Made Solutions at the Heart of a Strategic Partnership

In the face of ever-increasing demands of the offshore sector, one of our clients, a major national institution in Southeast Asia specializing in sea rescue and hydraulic engineering, was faced with a significant challenge: the installation of an offshore platform requiring unparalleled precision and reliability. With a constant pursuit of quality and efficiency, the need for innovative and personalized solutions became paramount to successfully carry out complex marine operations.

It was in this context that the paths of our client and Pronal crossed. By combining maritime expertise with Pronal’s ingenuity, the project was destined to become a technical success story. Pronal’s solutions such as the Grout Packer, Diaphragm Closure, and Mud Wiper were identified as key to meeting the specific technical requirements of this significant project. Pronal, with its responsive and creative design office, distinguished itself by the adaptability and quality of its solutions. Using advanced modeling and simulation technologies such as Catia, Abaqus, and Solidworks, Pronal did not merely supply equipment; the company added real value by developing custom solutions that integrated perfectly with the objectives and challenges of our client. This strategic collaboration is the perfect example of how Pronal commits alongside its partners to meet today’s challenges and exceed expectations by providing personalized responses that go beyond simple product supply to true collaborative engineering. Indeed, we have collaborated with our partner IQIP®.

The Keys to Successful Buoyancy and Anchoring of the Structure by Pronal Solutions 

Grout Packer : Ensuring Perfect Sealing 

Pronal’s Grout Packer is a key solution for precision grouting in offshore projects. Used to ensure sealing during the installation of underwater structures, it fills cavities or interstices between the jacket elements and the marine substrate. With 32 Grout Packers deployed, sealing was crucial to prevent any movement or pressure infiltration, thus ensuring the structure’s long-term stability.

Diaphragm closure: Innovative and Safe Sealing 

The Diaphragm Closure is another major innovation from Pronal. Designed to provide a flexible and robust sealing solution, this device was used to isolate sections of the offshore structure during critical phases of the project. With 64 Diaphragm Closures, we ensured a secure and watertight separation of components, thereby facilitating anchoring operations while protecting the integrity of each section.

Mud Wiper : Mud Wiper: Ensuring a Clean and Efficient Process

The Mud Wiper plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of underwater pipes and conduits, essential during the installation of an offshore platform. The 32 Mud Wipers supplied by Pronal were indispensable for removing residues and mud that could compromise the quality of the installation. Their use ensured that the jacket elements fit together without issues, thus eliminating delays and additional costs. Each solution is the result of meticulous engineering and custom manufacturing to meet the exact specifications of the project. They were selected for their ability to improve the quality and efficiency of the installation while reducing risks and maximizing the durability of the offshore structure.

An Offshore Installation: Between Technique and Innovation

Pronal’s teams, driven by excellence, service, and innovation, were mobilized for several months in China and Vietnam, ensuring a flawless installation through rigorous procedures and weekly project monitoring. The pressurized water activation and nitrogen bottle inflation are testimonies to Pronal’s innovative technical approach, tailored to each specific project. Indeed, each Pronal solution is custom-made to fit the project specifications of each of our clients. A flexibility that reflects Pronal’s commitment to providing unique solutions for unique challenges
