Philson, a leading manufacturer of advanced cable and pipeline protection systems, recently has announced the successful shipment and imminent installation of its Vertebrae Bend Restrictors for a key offshore energy project in Vietnam. This delivery underscores Philson's growing footprint in the Southeast Asian market and its commitment to supporting global offshore energy infrastructure.
The offshore bend restrictors, designed and manufactured at Philson's state-of-the-art facility, have arrived at the project site in Vietnam. The client is now preparing for installation, where the devices will play a critical role in protecting subsea umbilicals and cables from overbending and potential damage.
Engineered for Reliability and Long-Term Performance
Specifically engineered for the challenging subsea conditions, the offshore bend restrictors feature a robust, mercury-free polyurethane construction. Designed and tested in accordance with stringent standards, they are built to ensure a 25-year design life. Their interlocking vertebrae mechanism is designed to lock securely at a pre-determined radius, effectively transferring bending moments away from the vulnerable flexibles and into the adjacent rigid structure.
Application: Protecting Critical Subsea Infrastructure
The offshore bend restrictors will be installed at the critical interface between flexible dynamic cables and fixed structures within the Vietnamese project. This junction is highly susceptible to stress from currents and vessel movements, making robust bend protection essential for the operational integrity and longevity of the entire system.
A Turnkey Solution from Design to Delivery
Philson provided a comprehensive, turnkey solution for the project, encompassing initial design consultancy, precision steelwork and polymer moulding, through to final assembly and validation testing. The seamless execution and on-time delivery demonstrate Philson's capability as a reliable international partner for complex subsea engineering challenges.
"We are proud to see our technology deployed in Vietnam's evolving energy landscape," said Nina, the International Trade Manager. "The successful delivery and upcoming installation of our bend restrictors is more than just a transaction; it's a significant milestone in our strategic expansion in Southeast Asia. We are committed to supporting the client through the installation phase and ensuring the long-term success of their project."
Looking Ahead
This project in Vietnam reinforces Philson's position as a global provider of high-quality subsea protection solutions. The company continues to leverage its deep technical expertise to serve the offshore wind, oil & gas, and interconnector markets worldwide, delivering cost-effective and reliable "Made-in-China" engineering excellence.
