Loglogic Subsea Undercarriages See Record Demand from the Renewable Energy Sector

Loglogic have had a record year supplying their subsea tracked undercarriages into the renewable energy sector. Loglogic manufacture a range of subsea undercarriages with capacities from 1,400 kg to our largest system (pictured above) with a capacity of 18,000 kg.

The galvanised undercarriages are constructed in carbon and high strength steels and can be supplied either as discrete track modules, with bespoke mounting flanges, or as an integrated chassis designed to suit the customer requirements. The heavy-duty track rollers and idlers use phosphor bronze bearings with chrome plated stainless steel shafts. Sealing is with high-pressure lip seals protected with stainless steel labyrinth seals. Grease lubrication allows any contamination to be easily flushed out during routine servicing to give unrivalled reliability in all conditions. Tensioning of the track is by grease filled rams and can be easily adjusted with a standard grease gun. Nitrogen filled accumulators fitted to the track tension rams allow for recoil in the event of foreign objects being trapped in the track.

Loglogic's Sales and Marketing Director, Graham Mitchell, said, "The subsea environment is one of the harshest on Earth and we're delighted to be able to supply our ROV systems to new and exciting applications."

Existing customers include: CT Offshore, VBMS, Aleron Group, Fugro and Ocean works systems.
