Pipe Floats For Dredging - Pipeline Floaters
Pipe Floats, also known as Dredge Pipe Floats or Dredging Pipeline Floaters, are float-like objects made from highly abrasion-resistant and UV-resistant polyethylene. The interior is filled with high-strength polyurethane closed-cell foam, making them ideal for various pumping and dredging applications due to their high flotation capacity, impact resistance, and durability.

Two pairs of pipe floats form one group, and two pieces form one pair. The inner diameter of the pipe floats is designed to be the same or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the HDPE dredging pipe, ensuring a firm and non-slipping attachment. The two halves of the pipe floats are connected using galvanized steel bolts and nuts or stainless steel if required. Thanks to their excellent construction, dredge pipe floats can absorb energy generated by ship collisions, providing protection for the dredge pipe they support. Typically, pipe floats are produced in orange or blue as warning signs for nearby vessels, but other colors are available upon request.
Dredging pipeline is paramount for transferring materials to designated areas. While traditional pipe floaters were made of steel, modern options like HDPE and other materials have become widely used. When selecting the correct floaters, important factors include the arrangement of floaters, type of material being transferred, length and thickness of the pipeline, and the quality of the materials used, including the filling of inner EPS foam. These elements ensure the safe and reliable operation of dredging pipeline.
Features of Pipe Floats
Dredge pipe floats have always been the preferred choice for dredging operations due to their many outstanding properties:
- Thick PE shell with high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV resistance.
- Environmentally friendly PU filler interior, which offers excellent impact resistance and can endure rough seas and ship collisions.
- Lightweight, easy to install and transport, resulting in low transportation costs.
- Marine-grade galvanized fittings.
- Longer service life, lasting more than three times that of steel floats.
- Flexible system that performs excellently in harsh sea conditions.
- Heat resistance ranging from -60°C to 80°C.
- Multiple color options are available.
Applications of Pipe Floats
Pipe floats offer robust support for a variety of uses, including dredging, mining, dewatering, and pumping. Their snug, non-slip design ensures they remain secured on the pipe and hose as they move. Key applications include:
- Floating mine pipes on surfaces like rivers, fairways, dams, and ports.
- Facilitating inspection of dredged pipes.
- Extensively used in civil engineering projects like sand mining, dredging, estuary dredging, tidal flat water replenishment, or large-scale reclamation projects.
