Bend restrictors, bend stiffeners, protective and ballasting shells, or split pipes are installed at the base of foundations to shield the cable close to the platform. Typically, this entire setup is referred to as a CPS (Cable Protection System). Bend restrictors are used to make sure the cable’s bending radius does not go below the minimum value specified by the manufacturer. Bend stiffeners, meanwhile, are specifically designed and produced for dynamic applications, aiming to avoid failure caused by cyclic loading.
The role of polyurethane Cable Protection System
Polyurethane protection tubes serve as underwater cable protectors, ensuring that power cables, umbilicals, and fiber optics remain intact throughout their service life. Features of these protection sleeves:
• Prevent excessive bending and localized compression
• Absorb impact and vibration
• Reduce friction against steel structures or the seabed
• Extend the life of offshore and subsea cable systems
