Land Reclamation Dredge Pipe Floats DN700 High Buoyancy HDPE Floaters For UAE

Land reclamation programs in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain pump enormous volumes of marine sand through floating pipelines that can extend several kilometers from cutter suction dredgers to the fill area. Those DN700 discharge lines carry heavy loads, face strong currents and open-sea swells, and must keep working around the clock. The JiuBei JBF-LR700 land reclamation dredge pipe floats are high buoyancy HDPE floaters built specifically for this duty class, delivering 1800 kilograms of reserve buoyancy per pair so that fully loaded pipelines ride high and stable in the water column.

Every JBF-LR700 combines a double wall rotational molded HDPE shell with an integrally bonded closed cell polyurethane foam core. The double shell construction protects the foam against impact from support vessels, anchor wires and rocky shallows, while the generous collar width spreads pipeline weight over a larger water plane area. The result is a float set that holds heavy steel and rubber dredging pipes at the correct elevation, reduces stress on pipe flanges and joints, and survives the punishing conditions of gulf reclamation sites season after season.

• Reserve Grade Buoyancy: Each pair provides 1800 kg of buoyancy, keeping fully loaded DN700 slurry lines floating even when pipe contents reach maximum density.
• Double Wall Shell: A reinforced two layer HDPE construction absorbs impacts from workboats and dredger movement without exposing the foam core.
• Integrally Bonded Foam: Closed cell polyurethane foam is bonded to the shell during molding, eliminating voids that could allow water migration and buoyancy loss.
• Stainless Steel Fixing: Marine grade 304 stainless bolts and washers resist galvanic corrosion in warm gulf seawater for the full service life of the collar.
• Stable High Freeboard: Optimized collar geometry keeps the pipeline riding high, reducing drag and preventing waves from washing over the line.
• Desert Climate Tolerance: Formulated for air temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius and water temperatures near 35 degrees, with no softening or shell distortion.

The JBF-LR700 is widely specified for coastal land reclamation projects in the Arabian Gulf, including island developments in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, industrial waterfronts in Dammam and Jubail, and the ongoing island and port expansion schemes in Doha and Manama. The same float set supports beach nourishment along the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where contractors pump sand over long distances through floating and submerged pipe combinations. Because the collars fit both steel pipes and rubber hose sections, project managers standardize one float type across the entire discharge line, simplifying procurement and spare parts management. When swells exceed safe limits, the high freeboard keeps joints above water, minimizing slurry spills and environmental compliance issues that can halt gulf projects.

Each JBF-LR700 pair undergoes buoyancy verification, ultrasonic shell thickness measurement and foam bond inspection before release. Floats are loaded on heavy duty steel frame pallets with foam corner protection, and hardware is supplied in labeled marine grade kits. Batch test certificates, material certificates and loading plans are issued with every shipment for gulf port clearance. Our team supports Middle East clients with installation supervision, pipeline layout drawings and after-sales spare part supply from stock.
