Leak Detection: In case of failure of the primary carcass, a double leak detection system (DDEMAS – Double Detection Expansion and Mechanical Anti-Pollution System), confirms the failure of the primary carcass. It’s operation combines the natural expansion of the secondary carcass with a change in the hose profile and an increase on its buoyancy, futhermore a rod installed in each hose end that is inicially embedded will become visible after the burst of the primary carcass giving additional confirmation of the failure
