KSB’s valves help salvage the Costa Concordia
The KSB Group supplied 328 pneumatically actuated butterfly valves used in the salvaging of the cruise ship Costa Concordia that capsized off Giglio Island in January 2012.
The valves serve to fill and vent tanks located in giant steel boxes, called sponsons, the first 15 of which were welded to the portside hull and acted as ballasting bodies when righting the wreck.
