ROV Buoyancy Modules for Offshore Operations in Australia & Norway

Project Overview

FLOAT X supplied custom ROV buoyancy modules for offshore projects in Australia and Norway, designed for reliable operation at water depths of up to 300 m.

The buoyancy modules were manufactured using syntactic foam with a density of 0.36 g/cm³, providing stable buoyancy performance while fitting within the limited installation space of ROV frame structures.

The Challenge

ROV systems operating in offshore environments require buoyancy modules that are both compact and reliable, while maintaining stable performance under repeated deployment cycles.

For this project, the customer required:

• Operating water depth up to 300 m

• Stable buoyancy performance with limited installation space on the ROV frame

• Suitability for offshore operations in Australia and Norway

• Reliable performance over multiple deployments and handling cycles

• Cost-effective buoyancy solution without compromising quality

The FLOAT X Solution

FLOAT X supplied custom ROV buoyancy modules manufactured from high-quality syntactic foam.

The buoyancy modules were:

• Precisely CNC machined to fit the ROV frame structure

• Designed for 300 m water depth rating

• Manufactured with a density of 0.36 g/cm³ to achieve stable buoyancy

• Supplied with surface protection suitable for offshore marine environments

• Prepared for safe handling and transportation with preliminary protective packaging

Key Specifications

• Material: Syntactic foam

• Density: 0.36 g/cm³ (360 kg/m³)

• Rated Depth: 300 m

• Application: ROV buoyancy modules

• Design: Custom-shaped modules for ROV frame integration

Project Result

The ROV buoyancy modules were successfully delivered for offshore projects in Australia and Norway and have demonstrated stable and reliable performance during subsea operations.

The project confirmed FLOAT X’s capability to provide consistent-quality ROV buoyancy solutions for medium water depth applications.

Why It Matters

This project highlights FLOAT X’s strengths in delivering:

• Engineered ROV buoyancy modules for offshore applications

• Reliable syntactic foam solutions for international projects

• Stable quality suitable for repeat deployment and long-term use
