Top Tensioning Systems (TTS): Pull type (Rental)
The ICON Top Tensioner System (TTS) can be used to either provide primary support to the conductor or provide auxiliary support to the Blowout Preventer (BOP). This is often required when conductor sizes of 13 3/8” and smaller are used.
Applied constant tension as the primary support prevents conductor buckling, controls lateral deflection and helps reduce vortex induced vibration under wave and current loading. When used to support the BOP, the ICON TTS also prevents conductor overload below should any off-centre or horizontal loading be experienced.
