ABLEFLEX Floating Hoses are bespoke systems consisting of several elements with different buoyancy configurations (if required), e.g. to build U-shape before head-floats (for TSHD-connection). It is maily used for connecting with bow of hopper dredger, transport slurry into floating hose.
1.Slurry Transfer:
·Transporting dredged materials (e.g., sand, silt, or sediment) from dredgers to disposal sites or barges.
2.Floating Pipeline:
·Used as part of a floating pipeline system for large-scale dredging projects.
