Uraduct® is the original cable and flowline protection solution, trusted by many for over 30 years. Whether it’s fibre optic cables, power cables, umbilicals, or flexible and rigid flowlines, Uraduct® has you covered. Made from polyurethane — a super durable, highly abrasion-resistant material that’s API 17L certified — Uraduct® provides exceptional protection against impact and abrasion. It’s assembled around cables or pipelines, creating a protective barrier that helps mitigate damage caused by environmental hazards.
Its modular design makes it not only easy to install but also customisable to meet the specific needs of your project. Whether you're working close to shore or in deep-sea environments, Uraduct® can be applied to any cable or pipeline that needs extra protection.
Uraduct®: Custom-built for tough subsea conditions
Uraduct® is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of the seabed. It encapsulates the cable or pipeline and has superior abrasion and impact resistance, making it ideal for dynamic applications where the host cable or pipeline may move relative to the seabed. Here’s a closer look at what the Uraduct® range can offer:
- Modular installation: Uraduct® comes in sections that easily clamp around your cables or pipelines. These sections interlock, forming a seamless protective barrier that’s both effective and easy to install.
- Buoyancy control: Is buoyancy is an issue? Uraduct® can be configured to achieve neutral or positive buoyancy, allowing cables to cross subsea ravines, gorges, canyons, or trenches—rather than navigating around them—no matter the depth.
- Ballast control: Need more weight for added stability? Uraduct® allows you to add ballast whilst maintaining its abrasion-resistant properties—unlike discrete metallic ballast modules—ensuring your cables stay secure on the seabed.
- Impact resistance: Uraduct® is designed to resist high impacts, protecting against damage from dropped objects or heavy equipment.
- Durability: Uraduct® is highly resistant to seawater corrosion and other environmental factors. It’s built to last, offering long-term protection and reliability for your subsea assets.
Essential for subsea protection
Uraduct® is crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of subsea cables, pipelines, and other infrastructure in industries such as telecommunications, energy, oil and gas, and marine construction. Its ability to withstand harsh underwater conditions, coupled with its flexibility and ease of installation, makes Uraduct® a must-have component for any subsea protection system.
Whether you're dealing with strong currents, rocky seabeds, or the need for extra stability, Uraduct® ensures that your cables and pipelines remain protected.
