PENSACOLA, FL., July 3, 2007 – DeepGulf's J-Flex revolutionary design features a boxed-in tower. Most J-Lay towers are open on one side to enable the staging of new pipe into the system. Because the J-Flex tower is enclosed on all sides, it can be much lighter and thus much taller giving it a 360 foot stroke. For each weld to the pipeline, the J-Flex adds 360 feet of pipe making it the fastest J-Lay tower in the world.
"Big, deep and fast- that is how we think about our J-Flex system. Not only will it lay much bigger pipe in deeper water than our competitors, it will also lay it faster, bringing projects into service sooner " says Rus Howard, Chairman, DeepGulf, referring to the J-Flex ability to lay 36" pipe in 12,000 feet of water.
