Shaping land and sea.

🌍 Engineering performance where land meets sea
At Vulkoprin, we help global leaders push boundaries—literally shaping land and sea.
One of our clients, a major player in offshore infrastructure, operates a fleet of specialized vessels to build and maintain ports, waterways, coastal defenses, artificial islands, and subsea connections. A critical part of their operations? Laying high-value cables at sea under extreme conditions.

🔧 The challenge
Cable installation offshore is unforgiving.
Every meter of cable must be laid with perfect tension and zero damage.
To achieve this, cable tensioners rely on traction pads—metal carriers coated with polyurethane—designed to grip the cable firmly while protecting its integrity.
But the reality is brutal:
Extreme compression and tensile forces
Constant exposure to harsh marine conditions
High demands on adhesion and durability
The result? Premature failures.
Traction pads were detaching from their carriers far too early—impacting performance, reliability, and operational uptime.

✅ The Vulkoprin solution
We didn’t just fix the problem—we redesigned the entire system.
– Advanced material selection
With Printhane-B™ 85, we delivered the perfect balance between:
Grip
Stiffness
Cable protection
– Fully automated bonding process
Eliminating contamination risks and ensuring consistent, high-quality adhesion
– Enhanced mechanical design
A newly engineered metal carrier provides additional mechanical anchoring, boosting durability under extreme loads

📈 The result
✔️ Significantly improved service life
✔️ Reliable performance in harsh offshore conditions
✔️ Zero compromise on cable integrity
Delivered fast, efficiently, and fully in-house

⭐ Why it matters
From design and engineering to metalworking, tooling, and polyurethane expertise—Vulkoprin delivers end-to-end solutions that perform where it matters most.
