Deep water rock installation requires technology that delivers accuracy, safety and consistency, regardless of water depth or sea state. The Huisman Vertical Fall Pipe (VFP) is built to help you achieve high precision seabed preparation, rock berm construction and cable protection from mid water to ultra deep water conditions.
The Vertical Fall Pipe is designed to reduce operational risk and increase productivity by automating most of the pipe building process, allowing work to continue without personnel in hazardous areas. Its ability to handle multiple pipe diameters enables the installation of both larger rock in shallow water and smaller rock at maximum water depth, giving you full flexibility for varying seabed conditions and project requirements.
At the heart of the system is the Fall Pipe Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV), suspended on three heave compensated umbilical wires. This ensures the ROV maintains a stable distance from the seabed, enabling highly accurate rock placement, as well as precise pre and post installation seabed surveys. The combination of proven mechanics and advanced automation provides a dependable, future proof solution for deep water rock installation projects where accuracy, cycle time reduction and operational safety are critical.
