With a failure-free track record and over 300 installations, Balltec’s subsea mooring connectors are unrivalled in their quality and are trusted by the industry’s leading operators and installation contractors.
Intervention-free connection and rapid disconnection throughout the full design life ensures that initial operational expenditure and future maintenance, replacement and decommissioning costs are significantly reduced.
MoorLOKâ„¢
A failure-free track record coupled with the world’s largest approved forging diameter for subsea mooring connectors ensures that the MoorLOK remains the industry-leading quick-connect moorings system.
The MoorLOK is customisable to suit project-specific interfaces and installation methodologies and has been approved for use in ABS, DNV and BV certified mooring spreads.
The patented Helical Connector is a self-aligning subsea mooring connector designed for use in H-link-type mooring systems where ease of installation is a necessity.
Its helically profiled nose auto-aligns the mooring pin and pin hole to drastically reduce the time taken to connect the mating components and de-risk ROV operations during installation.
Designed for temporary mooring systems in harsh-weather environments, the RigLOK utilises release under load functionality and rapid acoustic activation to allow floating units to operate closer to weather threats and maximise time on station.
With a standard DNV type-approved design as well as custom connector options available, the RigLOK can be suited to any project-specific requirements.
Innovative lifting and handling systems for complex engineering projects
We have provided lifting solutions across multiple engineering disciplines and industries.
Balltec lifting solutions are engineered to minimise human intervention in safety critical operations, eradicating the need for manual handling, working at height and diver intervention.
Lifting Solutions have been used for: single and multi-point lifts, turret and buoy lifting, engineered lifts, suction pile installation, subsea equipment deployment, marine operations and renewable energy construction projects.
A world leader in pipeline solutions spanning the full life of field
Balltec Engineered Solutions has an unrivalled track record of pipeline solutions including the development of tooling and systems in pipeline recovery, pipe lay, infrastructure upgrades, IRM, emergency repair and decommissioning.
Through the development of pipeline solutions, Balltec has amassed the largest pipeline abandonment and recovery rental fleet in the world, readily available for rapid deployment, including; pipeline A&R, plugging and abandonment equipment, cutting, pigging and dewatering operations, on-deck handling equipment, handling of flexible pipe, riser operations and emergency pipeline repairs.
Unrivalled robust, but flexible, subsea mooring connector
Through the development of our SURF solutions, we have gained a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced in the SURF market.
From initial extensive R&D activity we have designed, developed, tested and deployed a range of tools for multiple SURF applications including diverless bend stiffener connectors, riser hang-off tools and pull-in heads.
BendLOKâ„¢
A secure, robust, permanent mechanical connection between the Bend Stiffener and the I-Tube or J-Tube, the BendLOK™ allows a fully automatic connection and disconnection without the need for divers or ROV intervention.
The male BendLOK has an adaptable, flexible design to interface with various risers, umbilicals and end terminations.
The Flexible Riser Recovery Tool (FRRT) is designed to recover flexible risers and pipelines in a cost-effective manner, and to reduce the long-term environmental impact of subsea infrastructure being left in place on the seabed.
The FRRT is designed to enable long sections of cut risers to be recovered from the seabed without the need for an end fitting / pulling head.
One of the first applications for ball and taper technology was the introduction of the CoilLOK™ coiled tubing (CT) handling tool specifically designed to aid in the handling of coiled tubing.
Following the success of the CoilLOKâ„¢ where the high load and compact design is proven, Balltec has developed several further solutions for oilfield application.
Some of the recent Balltec oilfield solutions include; down-hole fishing tools, Quick Emergency Disconnect (QED) for Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA), emergency subsea casing string hang-off, drill pipe slips and drill string handling tools.
