Riser/Conductor Protection Nets
TTI is the World's leading authority on the Design and Specification of Riser and Conductor Protection Net Systems.
As an acknowledged leader in the technology of synthetic fibre ropes, TTI offer independent advice, specification and design services for all types of marine applications.
Riser Protection Nets (RPNs) are sometimes necessary to protect vulnerable risers from impact by an errant supply boat. Similarly, Conductor Protection Nets (CPNs) provide protection for vulnerable conductors.
Only fibre ropes have the properties that allow RPNs/CPNs to be successfully engineered, Elastic Modulus being the key property. This allows a net to be designed so that the energy of an impact can be absorbed (through conversion to strain energy) within the strength capability of the ropes.
TTI has designed some of the largest impact capacity nets in the World with impact requirements in excess of 20MJ and with design life out to 40 years.
Our rigorous design approach ensures net functionality through the life cycle with minimum maintenance and inspection requirements working in the harshest offshore environments
RPN/CPNs have been deployed on seventeen major TLP, FPS and jacket projects to date of which only the first two of these systems were not designed by TTI.
More recently the Snorre and Heidrun TLPs in Norway have had TTI designed replacement nets installed some 20 years after the original nets were installed.
