One-piece subsurface buoyancy

Balmoral provides a range of one-piece subsurface buoys, suitable for service to 3000msw, which have a proven track record on subsea projects undertaken by marine installation contractors.

These products are manufactured using a central tension member encapsulated within a syntactic foam core of varying densities to suit particular depth ratings.

External finishes include rotationally moulded polyethylene, polyurethane elastomer and glass reinforced vinyl-ester, giving a durable, abrasion resistant surface finish. The external surface is pigmented with a high visibility colour – typically yellow, white or orange – to assist with deployment and retrieval although other colours are available on request.
