Syntactic
Foam Flotation Equipment
Cuming Corporation
is a long-time provider of syntactic foam flotation equipment for the
offshore oil and gas industry. Cuming Corporation engineers made the very
first syntactic foam buoyancy modules for subsea risers in 1968, helping
to launch the worldwide deepwater exploration for oil and gas, and have
been involved in every major offshore advance since then. Our C-FLOAT
syntactic foam has the ability to withstand use at ocean depths of 10,000
feet and more for many years, as demonstrated by recent drilling records
set by Global Marine's Glomar Explorer and Noble Drilling's Paul Wolff
using Cuming Corporation modules.
Cuming Corporation's research and development effort focuses on engineering
these materials for use in extreme conditions and at various depth ratings.
Our laboratory is devoted to improving our manufacturing process and
quality initiatives for syntactic foam products. Cuming Corporation
strives for continuous improvement in its materials, formulations and
product designs. We pride ourselves on quick development turnaround
times to meet specific customer requests.
Our manufacturing process is flexible, featuring state-of-the-art production
equipment. This allows us to accommodate customers' specifications and
enables us to produce a wide array of products efficiently and with
fast turnarounds. One recent customer had an urgent requirement for
a 2,500-foot riser module extension. To accommodate this request, we
shortened the usual two to three month production cycle, delivering
it in just one month. We also have the most sophisticated hydrostatic
testing facility in the USA, capable of testing full riser modules up
to 21 feet in length, 60 inches in diameter, and to water depths of
10,000 feet and beyond.
