Pipeline Buoyancy Systems

Individual IBUs

The Standard Range of Inflatable Buoyancy Units (IBUs) are mainly used for installation buoyancy on pipeline beach pulls, shore endings and river crossings. They are also good for supporting loads on the surface, 'float out' operations and vessel draft reduction.

Manufactured and tested in full compliance with IMCA D-016 - Revision 3, Seaflex IBUs are universally accepted by offshore and marine contractors all over the world.

Over 20 years experience in hiring and maintaining the world’s largest stock of certified IBUs has refined the design to current 'best of class'. Seaflex IBUs have worked in every ocean, all Seven Seas and every continent except Antartica. With a shipping weight equal to about 1% of their inflated lifting capacity it is easy to see why they are often first choice for contractors needing significant buoyancy on sites when a 20' container can contain 700t of buoyancy.
