CSUB’s Sleepers are robust structures specifically designed to support and stabilize subsea pipelines. They play a crucial role in controlling lateral buckling caused by thermal expansion and contraction and are vital for maintaining the integrity of pipelines over their operational lifespan.

Buckling Control: Employed along pipeline routes, our sleepers act as fixed points that manage the axial compressive forces arising from thermal changes, efficiently controlling lateral buckling and ensuring pipeline integrity.

Modular Design: The sleepers can be tailored with modular elements to adjust the length and height as per project requirements, providing flexibility and precise support wherever needed.

Surface Customization: The top surface of the sleepers is customizable with polyethylene to adjust the friction factor, which is crucial for matching the specific environmental and operational conditions of the pipeline.

Environmentally Adapted Features: Design elements like cutouts reduce environmental loads, and the smooth edges ensure that there are no sharp points that could damage the pipeline coating.

Robust Material Choice: Made from composite materials, our sleepers offer low weight, non-corrosive properties, and excellent energy absorption capabilities. This makes them maintenance-free and significantly reduces CO2 emissions during production and deployment​.

Efficiency in Transportation and Storage: The stackable design enhances transport, storage and installation efficiency, proving to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

CSUB’s buckling initiators are engineered to ensure that subsea pipelines buckle in controlled, predetermined locations or patterns, significantly reducing the risk of unexpected or harmful buckling. While sharing key quality features with CSUB’s sleepers, these buckling initiators are specifically tailored and ballasted for controlled buckling, meeting the precise requirements of subsea pipeline specifications. The product is available in various configurations to accommodate different pipe specifications, metocean data, soil conditions, and other project-specific needs.

• Low Maintenance and Durable: The non-corrosive properties of composite materials ensure that the sleepers & Buckling initiator are virtually maintenance-free.
• Environmental Benefits: The use of composites rather than traditional materials like concrete or metal significantly reduces the ecological footprint of these structures.
• Adaptable and stackable low weight design: The CSUB Sleepers & Buckling initiator stands out compared to traditional concrete and steel solutions with its low weight and stackable design. The modular design makes the products suitable for use in various subsea conditions in both shallow and deep-water environments.
