Provided herein is a system and apparatus for installing subsea insulation on flowlines, connectors and equipment. This system provides a lightweight, thin mold designed and built to suit the parameters of the subsea item to be insulated. The mold fits and seals around the area to be insulated which is then injected with an insulation material by a remote operation vehicle (ROV). The insulation material is injected as a liquid solution that is a combination of an insulation solution and a catalyst solution mixed together during the injection process. The liquid solution is then allowed to solidify, forming a gel molded insulation. |
