This is achieved through the low intrinsic cost of the equipment if purchased (because air costs absolutely nothing) and even lower intrinsic cost if hired - combined with buoyancy modules being by far the easiest and the safest buoyancy solution to work with onsite, when compared to the big, heavy steel or solid foam alternatives.

Easily presented to the pulling wire due to their lack of weight (1t unit only 16kg), the buoyancy module is then swiftly secured via a simple rigging arrangement (very often a soft sling with taped sleeve). It is then inflated to full working pressure prior to the wire being pulled out to the barge.

Because they're attached to the load via a single point of connection, they require significantly less rigging time than multi-attachment alternatives Its structural internal connecting strop between each end of the MBU makes it possible to lift through or moor onto Unique Group's MBUs – a capability which sets us apart from other products on the market.

Because HDPE pipe is intrinsically buoyant and offers more than enough reserve buoyancy to support the concrete collars when the ends are capped, it may not always be apparent that the use of additional buoyancy units can be a vital part of this process when it comes to the easy positioning and joining of multiple pipe strings.

The use of parachute-style Air Lifting Bags (ALBs) is recommended for general lifting activities such as diving operations and salvage projects under normal circumstances. However, in certain scenarios an enclosed bag is the perfect solution for lifting of pipelines. Such enclosed bags come in the form of Mono Buoyancy Units (MBUs) or Inflatable Buoyancy Units (IBUs).

The buoyancy of each IBU can be controlled from the surface during and after operations allowing users to safely apply and remove the load at zero capacity, only activating the buoyancy at the moment it is required.
