In the challenging world of offshore energy, where each project presents its own unique set of challenges, the emergence of polyurethane clamps has been nothing short of revolutionary. These versatile clamps offer a plethora of benefits over their traditional steel counterparts, making them a go-to choice for engineers seeking reliability and efficiency in their subsea operations. Let's delve into the benefits of polyurethane clamps, explore the diverse applications where they excel, and discover how MPC's solutions can elevate your projects.

Advantages of Polyurethane Clamps  

Polyurethane clamps offer several key benefits that make them stand out in the world of subsea engineering: 

  1. Lightweight Design: Unlike cumbersome steel clamps, polyurethanes are significantly lighter, reducing weight penalties and simplifying installation and handling.
  2. Superior Strength: Despite their lighter weight, polyurethane clamps maintain exceptional strength and durability, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh subsea conditions.
  3. Corrosion Resistance: Polyurethane's inherent resistance to corrosion safeguards against deterioration, prolonging the lifespan of subsea infrastructure and minimizing maintenance requirements.
Applications of Polyurethane Clamps

Polyurethane clamps find diverse applications across various facets of offshore operations:

Riser Clamps: Serving as pivotal components for securing auxiliary lines and cables to central riser pipes, polyurethane riser clamps offer a blend of reduced weight and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to conventional steel alternatives.

Intervention Workover and Completion (IWOC) Clamps: Providing secure anchoring for umbilicals and cables during deployment, polyurethane IWOC clamps boast exceptional support, load distribution, and corrosion resistance in subsea systems.

Safety Clamps: Playing a crucial role in safeguarding equipment and personnel on drilling rigs, polyurethane safety clamps deliver robust performance and corrosion resistance to ensure operational safety in challenging offshore environments.

MUX Lines and Support Clamps: Streamlining subsea operations with their lightweight yet robust design, polyurethane variants enhance efficiency and reliability throughout the offshore energy landscape.
