Abstract: Process for the towering of underwater pipelines by means of head tugs (R) for the pulling and tail tugs for the counterpulling characterized in that it is effected by the use of a set of equipment (A), connected to the pipeline (C) itself, substantially containing floats (G), of which at least a part has a variable buoyancy or partially variable buoyancy, which, when placed in a pre-established position and at pre-established intervals, provide a graded buoyancy to the pipeline in relation to the distance (f) from the seabed (F) so as to obtain a “festoon” configuration of the pipeline, i.e. with suspended sections of pipeline, in correspondence with the floats, alternating with resting sections.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the formation of pressure resistant buoyancy structures with a given buoyancy efficiency at smaller sizes. The invention involves embedding into syntactic foam metallic spheres which preferably are substantially hollow and comprise high strength, high performance, light weight metal alloys which can be precision forged. The weight per unit space of the metallic spheres is less than that of the syntactic foam. As a result, the metallic spheres can decrease the size of the structure required to achieve a desired buoyancy efficiency.

Abstract: Process for making a modular, underwater, connection of water stretches, wherein the prefabricated modules from different manufacturing yards, freely floating in the water area in front of a floodable basin, are introduced, one at a time, into the basin, through an upper door and, after the basin is emptied, are laid on support saddles. The modules are then aligned and connected with the end of an already installed length, and, after flooding the basin again, are launched by being butt-pushed by means of a driving system, guided by means of thrust roller units.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for laying an underwater pipe to straddle an already laid pipe, comprising fastening to the pipe to be laid, at appropriate distances apart, a set of trestles the heights of which are gradually increasing and decreasing consistent with the bend to be imparted to the pipe to be laid in order to have it positioned in the correct straddling relationship relative to the already laid pipe. Each trestle is connected to the pipe to be laid by flexible means which allow the trestle to move vertically, longitudinally and traversely relative to the pipe and to be suspended below and separate from the pipe as the pipe and trestle descend to the sea bed for proper positioning of the trestle substantially independent of the pipe.

Abstract: A drilling ship is maintained over a deep sea well in a drilling position defined by an inner circle and an outer circle having the well as their center. The ship is connected to a set of anchors fastened to the sea bed and adapted, when the ship is subjected to the action of external forces tending to change its position and of not more than a predetermined magnitude, to restrain the ship from moving beyond the confines of the inner circle. The ship is equipped with a set of adjustable propellers adapted, in conjunction with the anchors, to position the ship within the confines of the outer circle when the external forces acting on the ship to change its position exceed the predetermined magnitude. The operation of the propellers is controlled by a computer to which values are fed which are determined by detectors of the position of the ship and of external forces acting upon it.

Abstract: An articulated stand apparatus for laying or recovering pipeline in or from a trench dug in the ground wherein the apparatus is hinged to the side of a tracked means or side boom and includes lifting tackle with a hook.The apparatus includes two rigid frames. One frame is hinged at its lower end to the tracked means in such a way that it can be rotated in a plane transverse to the tracked means. The second frame has extensible telescopic elements at its lower end for resting on the ground. The upper ends of the frames are hinged to each other and are disposed in a reversed V with the lifting tackle and hook supported at the vertex of the frames.Extending from the upper end of the second frame is a pair of arms whose ends are hinged to pistons of hydraulic cylinders, which, in turn, are hinged to the center line of the first frame. In operation, the second frame can be hydraulically rotated about its hinged connection to the first frame so that the second frame can move over a trench and lay its extensible elements on the ground of the trench opposite to the tracked means.In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic elements extending from the lower end of the second frame are connected to a motorized tracked carriage.

Abstract: A pipeline closing head, for use in testing a pipeline after it has been laid on a submerged bed by subjecting the pipeline temporarily to internal pressure through the use of filling and emptying balls, is constituted by a hollow cylindrical body having a crowned closing element at one end and containing, at its other end, an air tight chamber housing the filling and emptying balls. Ducts and control valves through which fluid is supplied to said chamber to activate the filling and emptying balls and supply fluid pressure to the interior of the pipeline are housed within the cylindrical body so that they do not overhang the closing head, which may slide along a conventional ramp for the pipeline.
