Mining Risers

GMC light weight sea floor mining risers are utilized for recovery of mineral mining ore from seabed to surface. GMC’s snaplay connection enables the riser to be rapidly deployed and connected to the subsea excavation equipment, for recovery of the minerals. The connected riser can be stored on the vessel and installed without the need for any additional vessels or top drive equipment, simply using the vessel crane and GMC’s installation tooling, taking up minimal deck space.
