LANKHORST PE GUARDS
Impact and abrasion protection for subsea umbilicals, flexible flowlines, risers and fibre optic cables
Reliable protection and fast installation
Lankhorst PE Guards are engineered to protect your cables, pipelines and flowlines under harsh offshore conditions.
- High-impact and abrasion resistance
- Fast and easy installation
- Wide range of inside diameters, lengths and wall thicknesses
Engineered for maximum offshore performance
Our PE Guards are manufactured from high-performance polyethylene (PE) and are designed to protect your cable or umbilical against large impact, high levels of abrasion and on crossings. It is closely resembling the proven PU UraGuard, with the only difference being the material it is made of.
Why choose Lankhorst PE Guards?
High impact- and abrasion resistanceProtects subsea cables and pipelines from rocky seabeds, crossings, and external forces
Fast and secure installationThe overlapping and interlocking half shell design ensures precise alignment and easy installation
Minimum bend radiusThe flexible material allows to meet the minimum bend radius of a pipeline, reducing strain
Customizable solutionsAvailable in a wide range of inside diameters, lengths and wall thicknesses
Reduced lead timesPE Guards are manufactured via a different, quicker process. Same fit, faster availability
Extensive testing possibilitiesIn-house testing facility, including testing by our stinger roller testing rig and our impact tower

Lankhorst PE Guard design
The Lankhorst PE Guard system is made from marine-grade, high-performance polyethylene (PE) and is designed to protect your cable or umbilical against high impact, abrasion and at crossings. The material allows for a minimum bend radius, reducing strain on pipelines and cables and offer optimal protection against rock dumping, dropped objects and other offshore conditions that cause high impact and abrasion on pipelines.
Designed to be safe to handle and easy to install, the PE Guards offer not only excellent protection against large impact and high abrasion, but also fast installation which minimizes vessel time and operational costs. The design offers overlapping and interlocking half shells that provide a close fitting protection around the pipeline and also ensure alignment during installation. PE Guards are available in a wide range of inside diameters, lengths and wall thicknesses in lengths up to 2 metres.
The PE Guards geometry mirrors the field-proven UraGuard, with the key-difference being the material it is made of. This material switch enables faster turnaround, making the PE Guard an ideal solution for projects where time is critical.
Optimized for installation
Lankhorst PE Guards are engineered for easy and fast installation. The half shells are light weight, safe to handle and fast to install. Due to the overlapping and interlocking of the half shells the PE Guards offer close fitting protection around the pipeline, whilst ensuring alignment during installation.
The PE Guard system is secured using either corrosion resistant Alloy 625 or glass filled nylon strapping, placed in recesses on the product during installation. These recesses ensure an even spacing of the strapping along the pipeline without measuring, along with a smooth consistent outer diameter.
