Floating dredge pipeline in units: a flanged pipe length carried in saddles on two welded steel floats, with a walkway and lifting lugs. Fabricated to your pipe size and float arrangement.
We have not delivered this product yet. We are equipped to build it: a 30 m bay with 11.5 m under the hook, plate rolling to 40 mm and welding to EN ISO 3834-3. The model shows a typical arrangement.
Scroll: the camera moves to each part in turn and ends on the exploded view. Drag to turn it round yourself.
