BARDOT Ballast Modules provide additional weight on Flexible Pipes/Umbilicals/Cables to ensure the bottom stability (Static) or create the lazy wave shape (Dynamic).

DESIGN

BARDOT Ballast Modules can be made of steel or lead and are composed of 2 or 3 elements fastened together on the line requiring additional weight.

To protect them from corrosion, the steel modules are equipped with sacrificial anodes, the lead modules are inert and do not require protection.

Anti-sliding pads made of qualified polychloroprene ensure immobilization and prevent from slippage of the modules on the lines.

STATIC

BARDOT Static Ballast Modules are used to provide the additional weight required for the bottom stability of Flexible Pipes/Umbilicals/Cables. Modules are designed to withstand the whole service life of the lines, up to 30 years. Extra weight in water can range from 5kg up to 100kg, with material density from 7 to 11.

Our engineering performs bottom stability analysis to optimize the design and provides fit for purpose solutions.

BARDOT Static Ballast Modules compete directly with concrete mattresses for bottom stability solutions. In-line installation during laying operation allows extreme offshore time reductions.

DYNAMIC

BARDOT Dynamic Ballast Modules are often used with buoyancy modules to create lazy wave or other shapes for Flexibles Pipes/Umbilicals/Cables.

Our qualified solutions of modules can either be directly clamped on the line or assembled through an internal clamp. Our internal clamps for Ballast Modules have been jointly developed with our buoyancy modules solutions. It is fully qualified for dynamic applications. Modules are designed to withstand the whole service life of the lines, up to 30 years. Extra weight in water can range from 5kg up to 100kg, with material density from 7 to 11.

Specific polymer materials allow our clamp to withstand high temperature of pipes, in case of HP/HT fields.

BARDOT Crossings have been developed to ensure a safe support of the new line to be laid over an existing line.

DESIGN

Pipeline Crossings are usually required to ensure a minimum gap between the existing line and a new one. BARDOT Crossing Supports, made of HDPE pipes and filled with ballasted elements, safely provide this required gap. BARDOT Crossing Supports can range up to OD 2500mm and can withstand crossing pipes up to 42’’ OD steel with concrete coating.

The Piggyback blocks allow a secondary line to be secured onto a main pipeline, and maintain a precise clearance between the two lines.

DESIGN

The main function of the Piggyback Blocks is to allow the installation of a secondary line onto a main pipe. To avoid any contact, lashing, or thermal interaction between the “piggybacked” line and the main pipe, the Piggyback Blocks are designed to maintain a precise clearance between these two lines.

A wide range of strapping solutions ensure that the piggyback block is firmly clamped onto the main pipe, and that no sliding will occur during the installation & service life of the product.

Furthermore the Piggyback Block solution developed by BARDOT Group is designed for over 30 years service life, without requiring any maintenance thanks to the use of field proven materials.

The Piggyback blocks are composed of:

• One main block made of high performance polyurethane, or reinforced polypropylene, depending on project requirements.

• A strapping system designed to fit with project needs, and usually made of alloy or composite material.

• Fasteners for specific cases, always made of material highly resistant to marine corrosion.

• Elastomeric pad to increase the clamping capacities, and improve the fitting of the Piggyback Block onto the main pipe.

• Adaptive spacers to allow a localized clearance modification and accommodate a local pipe diameter change (tie-in flange, coating modification, etc.)

manufacturingThanks to various manufacturing sites all over the world, BARDOT Group is able to produce the Piggyback Block solutions close to where it is requested, and helps you to optimize your project logistic and local content.

Our expertise in the composite manufacturing allows us to reach high production capacities and flawless product quality, to deliver timely the best product to our clients.

Shrouds are used to smoothly raise a pipe when laying through the stinger rollers in order to prevent damage of an in-line structure.

DESIGN

To achieve a regular ramp, two kinds of shrouds are successively installed on each side of the structure: tapered and straight shrouds.

Our Shrouds are a field proven solution to install heavy in-line structures. Thanks to their high mechanical properties, our Shrouds are able to sustain great stresses from the roller boxes and limit the loads applied to the line, especially on the stress joints.

Each shroud envelops the pipe and gradually fills the geometrical gap between the in-line structure OD and the pipe OD to ensure a smooth laying.

The Shrouds are made of fully qualified Bardeep PUR 80, a 95 ShoreA Polyurethane system. This polyurethane is exhibiting high compression properties, and able to undertake the significant stresses of pipe laying.

Every shroud is shaped with a groove at each end (respectively male and female) to allow a rigid connection between neighbouring shrouds, and the clamping of the shroud onto the pipe is ensured by high capacity Kevlar straps, tightened with corrosion resistant alloy fasteners.

manufacturing

BARDOT’s specialized manufacturing sites for shrouds are located in Italy and Houston, and are experts with the manufacturing of such critical equipments. Extensive full scale tests are performed in our facilities, to simulate the stress exerted by the stinger’s rollers both in dynamic and static cases, to ensure the fitness for purpose of the designed Shrouds.
