    摘要: An apparatus for positioning an underwater pipe includes a plurality of fixing members for disposing on an outer circumferential surface of the underwater pipe in a spaced apart manner, a submersible unit connected to one of the fixing members, and a counterweight unit. The submersible unit is configured to float the underwater pipe on a water surface and submerge the underwater pipe. The counterweight unit is connected to the other one of the fixing members when the underwater pipe is submerged for positioning the underwater pipe on a bottom of a body of water.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a system and method for installing subsea equipment, such as a pipeline and equipment associated therewith in a target area, generally having restricted overhead access. An anchor can be installed in the seabed and can include one or more sheaves. A pipeline can be provided, which can include related equipment and/or one or more coupling devices situated remotely from the anchor relative to the target area. A winch wire can be provided and is adapted to be directly or indirectly coupled across at least a portion of the target area to the pipeline. A transfer sling having a pull wire and an initiation wire can be coupled between the winch wire and pipeline to assist the winch wire pulling the pipeline into the target area and transferring a pipeline force from the sheave to the anchor independent of the sheave.

    摘要: A pipeline segment 5, used for the manufacture of a thin-walled underwater pipeline 50, is disclosed. Terminal pipe sections 20 are at either end of main pipe section 10. Terminal pipe sections 20 are thick-walled or otherwise resistant to collapse due to external pressure. A pressure isolation device 30 maintains an internal pressure in main pipe section 10 above a shutoff pressure. A pressure compensation system 35 can protect main pipe section 10 from collapse due to external pressure. Pipeline segments 5 can be manufactured by connecting and winding stalks 100 onto storage device 110 forming main pipe section 10. Terminal pipe section 20 can be connected to the lead end of main pipe section 10, and main pipe section 10 can be unwound from storage device 110 while towing.

    摘要: A system for installing one or more side-by-side submerged pipelines from the shore while preventing abrasive contact between the pipe and any of the ground, the seabed or the equipment used. The line is assembled from joints on shore, clamped between timbers at spaced intervals, hauled down a track supported by the timbers to the water's edge where buoyant spherical wheels are detachably secured to the clamping timbers. The pipeline is pulled into the water, rolling on the wheels which maintain it in spaced relation to the seabed and which when the pipeline reaches its final destination, are released to float to the surface for retrieval. Additional lengths of pipe may be added periodically on the shore so that pipelines of any desired length can be installed. The wheel assemblies are released by pulling buoyed trip lines whose buoys floating on the surface mark the path of travel of the pipeline as it is pulled along the seabed.

    摘要: The invention consists of a method and apparatus for laying a pipeline, such as an oil duct or a gas duct, in a body of water, wherein the pipeline, or a section thereof, is enclosed within a ballast tube such that an intermediate space is formed between the pipeline or pipeline section and the ballast tube, said space being filled with a liquid less dense than water, such as a light hydrocarbon, while the pipeline is being laid, but may be filled, after the pipeline has been laid, with soft water or with a liquid heavier than water such as a grouting having a base of a hydraulic or hydrocarbon binder. The invention also comprises the provision of a plug at one end of an assembly of pipeline section and ballast tube whereby a free end of said assembly may be secured as by welding to a second assembly of pipeline section and ballast tube at a position remote from the liquid contained in the intermediate space in said first assembly.
