Asset Protection Technology

Ballast Modules

Tekmar’s Ballast Modules are engineered to provide additional on-bottom stability for subsea power cables, umbilicals and flowlines, helping safeguard critical offshore infrastructure throughout installation and operational life. Designed for challenging offshore environments, Ballast Modules help improve seabed stability, reduce lateral movement, control buoyancy and mitigate free spans caused by currents, uneven seabed conditions and dynamic loading.

Proven ballast technology trusted across offshore wind and offshore energy projects worldwide.

Built around a modular and scalable design, Tekmar’s Ballast Modules can be configured to suit project-specific cable, pipeline and environmental requirements while supporting efficient offshore installation and long-term asset performance. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Cable Protection Systems (CPS), TekDuct and Bend Restrictors, Ballast Modules form part of a complete subsea protection strategy for offshore wind, oil & gas, interconnector and marine infrastructure projects worldwide.
