Diaphragm closure

Pronal diaphragms closure are flexible inflatable jacks. These jacks are installed in the legs of offshore platforms and assist the buoyancy of the fixed platform, while also maintaining its center of gravity when it is installed at sea.

In addition, they are used in many applications such as : 

  • jacket buoyancy 
  • mud barrier 
  • pile floating 

Made from high resistance rubber coated fabric and assembled by hot vulcanisation, our diaphragms closure are designed to take into account : 

  • leg ID 
  • Thickness of the leg 
  • Water depth

Finally, a steel insert is vulcanized into the rubber diaphragm creating a perfect tightness to the Leg. there is no risk for the rubber diaphragm separating from the flanges. 

Our teams can travel on-site to install your offshore buoyancy kits no matter where you are located.
