Cable Protection System
Vos Prodect's Cable Protection System, developed over the past 30 years, includes the Vos Prodect Cast Iron Shell and Vos Prodect Hybrid Protection Shell. These Articulated Pipes are protection systems installed for new projects and submarine cable repair and maintenance campaigns.
Articulated Pipes
The Vos Prodect Cast Iron Shell protects cables in contact with the seabed, while the Vos Prodect Hybrid Protection Shell safeguards cables in free span areas leading into monopiles. The Cast Iron Shell, known in the industry as Articulated Pipes, is made from cast iron half shells. The Hybrid Protection Shell combines a cast iron shell insert combined with an outer polyurethane shell for enhanced corrosion protection in free span areas.
Articulated Pipes Applications
Vos Prodect’s articulated pipes protect and stabilise subsea power and telecom cables. Extensively tested, they offer robust interlocking mechanisms for quick assembly with minimal use of nuts and bolts. The system also provides bend restriction and impact protection and is used for protecting both new cable installations and submarine cable repair and maintenance campaigns.
