Mini tensioner
Bellmouth
Layback retrofitted diving and ROV-operated cable funnels, so-called Bellmouths are designed to be mounted on the end of pull in pipes to provide guidance and protection during cable installation.
Our funnels can be easily installed under water, even on pipes with an angle, and the funnels are held in place by integrated clamping brackets. The clamp can either be attached by a diver or, at greater depths, closed and tightened by an ROV
A cap at the end of the funnel prevents marine growth to get inside the pipe. Water and oxygen are prevented from circulating and creating potential corrosion. A messenger wire is pulled through the pipe in advance and connected to the lid.
The lid can easily be removed and pulled off together with the messenger wire at the time of cable installation. The radius of the funnel itself can prevent bending of the cable and it protects the cable from sharp edges during installation.
Layback Bellmouth design can be easily adapted to different cable types, materials, water depths and operational requirements.
Our cable engineers at BEIN Engineering have ample experience with onshore and offshore projects and ensure tailor-made solutions, painless manufacturing and reliable installation.
