Gloucester-based Advanced Insulation will be using its stand at this year’s Offshore Europe exhibition to promote numerous products from its subsea portfolio, including buoyancy solutions, moulded PU products for SURF impact and abrasion protection and its ContraTherm® thermal insulation systems for upstream oil and gas infrastructures.
Offshore Europe will also be the first exhibition where subsea buoyancy and SURF products will be exhibited officially as a range from Advanced Insulation; and follows the company’s acquisition of Plymouth-based manufacturer Manuplas in April 2014. The range includes modular pipe lay floats and buoys, Modsyn floats, ROV materials, distributed buoyancy modules and clamps; and moulded PU products for impact and abrasion protection. All are manufactured at Advanced Insulation’s facility in Plymouth, which has recently been expanded to meet the significant growth in demand for this range of products.
Commenting for Advanced Insulation, Group Marketing Manager Matt Collins says: “With last year’s acquisition of Manuplas, Advanced Insulation is now well placed to offer oil and gas sector operators a full package of solutions, from topside fire protection and thermal insulation systems to subsea insulation and buoyancy products, so this is a really exciting year to be attending Offshore Europe as there is so much to offer the market.”

Gloucestershire-based Advanced Insulation – a leading manufacturer of technical and insulation materials for the upstream oil and gas industry – has announced the appointment of David Raynor as business development manager.
David will be responsible for building key business relationships for the UK, US and South America; with a particular remit to focus on the company’s topside passive fire protection systems. His aim is to establish Advanced Insulation and its ContraFlame® and ContraFlex® products in the western hemisphere, especially Brazil, and confirm the company’s reputation as a leading supplier of thermal and fire protection systems for deck protection, enclosures, vessels, etc.
Commenting on his role, David says: “With the region becoming a major power in world oil production it is important for us to reinforce our position in Brazil, so this is a particularly challenging role for Advanced Insulation, and for me.”
David has over 25 years of sales and business development experience in the engineering sector. Recent, relevant experience includes a business development role at Pipex PX, a company providing design and manufacturing expertise for the supply and installation of composite structures and thermoplastic products to the oil and gas and infrastructure markets.
Welcoming David to the Advanced Insulation team, managing director Andrew Bennion says David’s previous business development experience and his in-depth knowledge of oil and gas markets will make him a valuable asset to the company.

For a second consecutive year, Aker Solutions has awarded Advanced Insulation – a leading manufacturer of technical coatings including specialised fire protection and insulation materials for the upstream oil and gas industry – Supplier of the Year status.
The award, presented by Aker Solutions at its Supplier Day 2014 event in Brazil on 4th December, was in recognition of Advanced Insulation’s performance and contribution for the Commercial Items category.
Commenting for Advanced Insulation, managing director Andrew Bennion says: “We are delighted to be rewarded for our efforts by such a prestigious global company.”
Advanced Insulation has been working with Aker Solutions in Brazil for a number of years and, more recently, has been supplying its ContraTherm® C55 multi-layer syntactic phenolic composite system for use on 99 vertical subsea trees being delivered to the Guará, Lula, Sapinhoá and other subsalt oilfields in the Santos Basin. The $300 million contract was awarded to Aker Solutions by Petrobras.
As Joao Volpato, general manager of Advanced Insulation Systems in Brazil, says: “The whole team, both in the UK and Brazil, has been involved to ensure that we continue to gain the trust of Aker Solutions; and to meet and exceed the expectations of the customer.”
The ContraTherm C55 subsea system from Advanced Insulation can be tailored to meet specific subsea project requirements. The resilient insulation material has been developed to tolerate the extreme temperatures and pressures required for high-temperature subsea developments. It can be applied as a wet coating directly to primed substrates in the field, as a pre-moulded engineered component, or a combination of both for certain applications.
