With enclosed parachute floats(air lift bags) of Buitink Technology almost any object can be lifted from the water, lifted from the bottom, can be floated or buoyancy can be applied to it!

Enclosed parachute bags of Buitink Technology can be applied in recovery of vessels and vehicles that hit the water. In the pipe laying technology these enclosed flotation bags are used where tubes and pipelines are to be installed or have to be lifted in local waters or at sea.

Major advantage of these enclosed parachute bags is their single attachment point at the bottom side, where the load is attached to. No need for spreading the load to multiple connection points.
