Articulated Pipe / Half Shell Pipe / Split Pipe / Ocean cable engineering / Dutile iron casting

Cable Protector is designed to provide protection for subsea cables at offshore wind or tidal energy foundations, in shallow water and at landfalls, boulder fields or areas of rocky seabed where cable burial is impractical.

In the course of using,a series of interlocking half shell are applied to form a vertebrae bend restrictor around the cable, the cable protectors are a development from conventional 'articulated pipe' (also known as 'split pipe') and are manufactured in ductile iron to provide:

• Protection against impact and abrasion
• Increased seabed stability through added weight
• Reliable and strong bend restriction to ensure that product minimum bend radius is respected
• Ease of installation and cost effective protection
• Greater articulation angle achieved at each joint than conventional split pipe, facilitating use over sheaves and chutes
• Smooth bore to facilitate longitudinal cable movement where required, for instance for cable pull-in or cable tension relief
• No sharp edges
• All bolted assembly. Identical top and bottom castings and use of large fasteners with built in nut recesses for simplicity, speed and reliability of assembly whether onshore, on deck or subsea by divers
• Smooth outer profile for ease of pulling through apertures and structures
• 
• We are professional comapny supplying ductile iron casting for our customers. We can supplying most of ductile iron castings, following list are the materials which we usually supplying.
