Globe Composite has an exceptional level of submersible component experience, ranging from design to rapid prototyping, to scalable manufacturing, and all of the critical testing in between. We are committed to manufacturing quality components for a variety of UUV, AUV, ROV, and HOV submersible applications, and have constructed a dedicated clean-room facility to test high tolerance, submersible-related parts. Additionally, Globe Composite has a fully-equipped Quality Control Lab that assesses critical performance measurement requirements, including tolerances and processes of parts used in the deep ocean. This lab allows our facility and team to serve as a reference laboratory for many of our clients, and is part of the reason the U.S. Navy trusts Globe to deliver over 140 parts and components for submarines.

Composite Submersible Parts
Globe's composite parts offer a wide range of attributes, including: Corrosion Resistance, Hydrolytic Stability, Structural Integrity at Extreme Depths, Sealing Ability, Impact & Shock Resistance, Weight Reduction, Radiation Shielding, Vibration/Impact Resistance, and Acoustic & Signature Reduction. Project examples include: Sonar & Hydrophone Casings, Fairings, Coatings, Surface Controls, Propulsor Covers, Nosecones, and High-Strength Gaskets.

Buoyancy Solutions
Globe now offers extensive submersible buoyancy solutions, produced by our Engineered Syntactic Systems division (ESS). Buoyancy design and selection are critical to the successful operation of  UUV, AUV, ROV, and HOV submersibles. Low-density syntactic materials make undersea vehicles neutrally buoyant, resistant to hydrostatic pressure and able to explore the ocean's depths for extended periods of time. In addition, these high-performance microsphere syntactic foams help to meet the rapidly growing demand to support heavier and more complex payloads while maintaining the vehicle’s compact dimensions.

Submersible Structural Materials
Globe now offers extensive syntactic materials for submersible structural solutions, produced by our Engineered Syntactic Systems division (ESS). The impressive mechanical properties of ESS syntactic materials provide strength and structural integrity at a significantly lower weight per volume than most traditional materials. In addition, exceptional thermal protection, Low FST (Fire, Smoke, Toxicity), and resistance to water absorption make syntactic foam the ideal solution for many Marine, Defense, off-shore and mining applications.

Subsea Insulation Solutions
Globe now offers submersible insulation solutions, produced by our Engineered Syntactic Systems division (ESS). Hydrocarbons produced during subsea operations are prone to blockage by paraffins or hydrates that can form when the fluid temperature falls below some critical temperature. It is therefore important to conserve the heat of the fluid and prevent excessive cooling during production and shutdown period. This has become an increasingly important concern as production has moved into deeper Pelagic Zones and longer flowlines have been required, and a variety of different insulation methods have evolved. Presently the following components are now typically insulated: Jumpers, wet trees and valves, sleds, risers, manifolds and flowlines. Click here for more information.
