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.
