About Trendsetter’s Manifold & PLETs


Designing and delivering subsea manifolds is in Trendsetter Engineering’s DNA.  The team at Trendsetter Engineering believe that every subsea field is unique and that the subsea production system should suit that uniqueness.  In an age where copy and paste solutions are being pushed to reduce project cost and lead time, Trendsetter believes that the field Operator can get a custom subsea manifold solution without sacrificing quality, cost or schedule. 

Through sound engineering and the utilization of reliable, proven valves, connectors, and components, Trendsetter designs subsea structures to the unique requirements of your field.  From compact manifolds to large-bore systems, Trendsetter’s goal is to increase the subsea system’s reliability and operability.

Trendsetter will work with your project team to define and deliver the appropriate solution.  This capability extends to high-pressure, high-temperature applications, as Trendsetter is the industry leader in developing TR8 solutions.

With a proven track record of on-time deliveries and competitive pricing, Trendsetter Engineering is the perfect partner to develop your subsea solution.

Manifold Philosophy

 

From a clean sheet of paper to calm waters for deployment, one recent project saw a 4-slot, 2-header manifold and mudmat designed and fabricated within 50 weeks of contract award. The delivery schedule included manufacture of the valves and connection systems. This dual header, 4-slot manifold features a robust array of fail-safe-close branch gate valves, MQCs for hydraulic controls and chemical injection, and subsea clamp connection systems.

Trendsetter and operators can work together to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions without sacrificing on cost or schedule. All equipment was manufactured and completed factory acceptance testing in Houston, Texas, USA.


The Leviathan project represented one of Trendsetter’s single largest projects in its 25-year history, accounting for over one hundred individual connection systems and the development of the SMARThub Dual Bore Connector.  At the heart of the production system is the 6-Slot Production Manifold.  With three 16” headers, six 12” branches, and two control modules this manifold tipped the scales at nearly 450 tons.
