Inflatable Lift Bags UV Resistant Eco Friendly Material Saltwater Resistant Long Term Durability
Buoyancy Bags are advanced inflatable lifting devices engineered to provide precise, reliable, and controlled underwater lifting solutions. They are designed for a broad range of subsea operations, including salvage, recovery, construction, and offshore maintenance.
Manufactured using high-strength synthetic fabrics coated with elastomeric polymers, these bags deliver exceptional performance in terms of tensile strength, puncture resistance, and long-term air retention.
Each unit features reinforced lifting points, automatic pressure relief valves, and corrosion-resistant fittings to ensure maximum safety and operational reliability. The open-bottom design allows for self-regulating air release during ascent, preventing sudden pressure buildup and ensuring a smooth, controlled lift.
In 2024, a major renewable energy contractor required a solution for lifting and repositioning a subsea transition piece that had settled unevenly during offshore wind turbine installation. The structure weighed approximately 12 tons and was located 22 meters underwater in a strong current area.
Hongruntong Marine supplied Buoyancy Bags designed specifically for controlled vertical lift and precise orientation control. Eight lifting units with 1.5-ton capacity each were attached evenly along the structure's perimeter using high-strength slings and certified shackles.
The project was completed 30% faster than the initial schedule, with zero incidents or structural damage. Following the success of this project, the contractor standardized Hongruntong Marine's Buoyancy Bags for all subsequent offshore maintenance campaigns.
