“DIPTI” Diaphragm Closures are most important and critical installation aid for launching of Offshore Jacket. The critical function of these Diaphragms is to withstand very high hydrostatic pressure while launching the offshore jackets. They are specially designed to bear very high water pressure and at the same time to act as a flexible barrier to seal effectively the jacket legs and it enables the platform to float in the sea, facilitating its movement and positioning on site after launching. If the diaphragm fails while launching, the whole jacket sinks into deep sea and it would be practically very difficult to retrieve the same. The specific purpose of using these flexible diaphragms is, it can be easily ruptured by driving piles or using integral cutter depending on its design. They are also pressure tested in house, for the required pressure.
