    摘要: A field joint transfer system for transferring a hot field joint along a curved path between a tensioner and a stinger during deployment of a pipeline from a pipelay vessel. The system comprises a plurality of adjustable pipe support units defining a curved path between the tensioner and the stinger, wherein one or more of the pipe support units can be moved out of engagement with the pipeline to allow the hot fieldjoint to pass the respective pipe support unit without contact, while maintaining support for the pipeline along the curved path. A mobile pipe support may be provided on an overhead gantry to follow the pipe as it passes along the curved path.

    摘要: The present invention regards an apparatus for unwinding flexible cables on seabeds, which comprises: two first towers (2), each provided with a corresponding first vertical guide seat (5), two second towers (6), each provided with a second vertical guide seat (7), and two hub-holder groups (8), each of which slidably constrained to the second guide seat (7) of the corresponding second tower (6) and carrying, rotatably mounted thereon, a corresponding hub (3). Each second tower (6) can be moved between a first operating configuration, in which the second tower (6) is slidably constrained in the first guide seat (5) of the corresponding first tower (2), and a second operating configuration, in which the second tower (6) is arranged outside the first guide seat (5) of the corresponding first tower (2).

    摘要: In general, a conductor removal system 1 comprises a conductor sectioning tower which can be used to automate lifting and landing of various conductor sections. In most embodiments, the conductor sectioning tower can selectively and controllably go between an initially compact position to a raised, substantially vertical position with respect to the conductor removal system's transport frame. Conductors are cut creating a severed conductor section which can be positioned onto a conductor landing cart for further removal processing.
