    Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating a system that includes an inflatable pipe drum, an inflation fluid source, and flexible pipe, which is formed into a pipe coil. The inflatable pipe drum includes an inflatable drum bladder that defines an internal fluid cavity, in which the inflatable pipe drum is to be inserted into a coil bore of the pipe coil while the inflatable drum bladder is in a less inflated state, and a fluid valve secured to the inflatable drum bladder such that the fluid valve is fluidly connected to the internal fluid cavity defined in the inflatable drum bladder. The inflation fluid source supplies inflation fluid to the internal fluid cavity defined in the inflatable drum bladder via the fluid valve to facilitate transitioning the inflatable drum bladder from the less inflated state to a more inflated state to facilitate supporting the pipe coil from within the coil bore.
