PIPELINE ANCHORING
Platipus Anchoring Systems staff have undertaken considerable research into a range of anchor systems specifically suited to the Pipeline Industry. This has led to the successful completion of a number of major pipeline buoyancy control projects.

Platipus provides a system that includes high tech ropes, braids and webbing, and offers the following advantages:

• Proven design solutions for buoyancy control;
• Significant cost savings over traditional mass concrete and pipe coating
• Minimal environmental damage;
• Proof testing for each anchor upon installation;
• Application designed webbing for fast installation without damage to pipes or their coating;
• Installation before or after the pipe is laid;
• No specialist installation equipment is required; and
• Flexible anchor selection for varying soil conditions.

Examples of how the Platipus Anchoring System can be used in a variety of pipeline applications are shown below.
