Description
The Mattress Installation Frame (MIF) has been developed for the deployment of concrete subsea mattresses — both standard and fronded.
Unlike conventional mattress lay systems, the use of the UTROV® with the MIF provides a safer, more efficient alternative to diver-aided or WROV mattress installation.
The MIF features a hydraulic release mechanism, transponders, and utilises real-time monitoring to ensure the precise placement of mattresses during installation operations.
Key Features
- Dual or Individual Release Subsea
- Mechanical Side Connection — allows safer connection at higher mattress stack height, resulting in more mattresses per trip
- Accurate mattress heading and positioning control
- Interlocked Hydraulic Release
