We can design and supply bespoke pressure housings for a wide
range of applications.
Housings have been produced using metals, engineering plastics
and composites.
Alongside is a stainless steel housing for electronics. The housing
was designed for long term immersion and was painted in order to
minimise the consumption of the zinc anodes protecting the whole
skid.
Below is a photograph of a lightweight shallow water housing using
modern plastics.
We are currently designing a range of new lightweight deepwater
housings using some of the most advanced metal matrix composite
materials available today.
The metal matrix composites provide great advantages for deep water
applications. We can now offer housings for 6000m which are near
neutral bouyancy, and even in some cases positively bouyant. This
provides considerable payload and hookweight benefits.
We are also working on designs for full ocean depth, 10915m, the
bottom of the Challenger deep.
