ICON Engineering
ICON has designed mid depth buoys using both steel pressure vessel buoyancy tanks as well as syntactic foam buoyancy systems. Each system has its advantages and the optimum solution will depend on the required size of the mid water arch, the number of risers to be supported, the depth of deployment and the design life of the subsea facilities.
ICON has successfully delivered a wide range of subsea production system components and equipment. Permanent assets have included subsea oil production manifolds, mid depth buoys using , both steel pressure vessel and syntactic foam buoyancy systems, flexible riser bases, etc.

A new generation of mid water depth buoy modules (MDBs) has recently been installed on the Ichthys LNG project in the Browse Basin. The MDBs are a local content 'double whammy', having been designed by West Perth's ICON Engineering Pty Ltd, in support of McDermott Australia P
The mid water arches are 3.9m in diameter and span over 38m with each buoy providing 200t of net buoyancy. The design itself needed to satisfy both the pressure integrity requirements for the buoy shell, heads and internal ring stiffeners as well as the structural design requirements for arches and gutters.
