    摘要: A vessel for laying a pipeline includes a plurality of ramps in the region of the first end of the vessel. The plurality of ramps includes a first ramp which is disposed along the pipelaying path, whose inclination is adjustable and which has a first upstream end and a second downstream end, and a second ramp which is disposed along the pipelaying path downstream of the first ramp, whose inclination is adjustable and which has a first upstream end and a second downstream end. The downstream end of the first ramp is positioned inboard of the first end of the vessel and above the bottom of the vessel and the upstream end of the second ramp is positioned inboard of the first end of the vessel and above the bottom of the vessel.

    摘要: A method of laying a pipeline is described in which both internal and external weld passes are performed in order to weld together the pipe sections. The method includes arranging a pipe section adjacent to the end of a pipeline thereby defining a circumferential joint to be welded, performing an external weld pass, with for example GMAW—MIG torches, on the root of the joint to be welded during which weld material is deposited in the root of the joint to be welded, thereby forming a root weld, and then performing an internal weld pass, with for example a GTAW—TIG torch, on the root weld during which the root weld is melted and re-shaped. The method has particular application in relation to pipes clad with corrosion resistant alloy.

    摘要: A method of abandoning an underwater pipeline on the bed of a body of water from a laying vessel includes the steps of lowering the free end of the pipeline into the body of water and onto the bed of the body of water using a first and second rope, both connected to the free end of the pipeline and extending from the laying vessel to the free end of the pipeline. The method also includes disconnecting the first rope from the free end of the pipeline, once the free end of the pipeline is laid on the bed of the body of water; and rewinding the first rope onto the laying vessel, while the second rope is still connected to the free end of the pipeline.
