PIPE LAYING
Shallow water
Depths ??? ~100 m
A hover barge adapted for pipe laying.
This is the only type of vessel that can work from deep water
and through marshy areas.
Pipes are loaded on board in sections and joined together as
the barge moves forward.
PIPE LAYING BARGES
Steel quality must be such that it can undergo bending beyond yield
during winding and again during unwinding and straightening
Reel barge moves to the dock and pulls the line on to the reel through
a spiral J tube, which bends the pipe to the proper curvature
Eg
22cm 110,000 m
32.5cm 43,000 m
40cm 30,000m
60 cm 7300m
ADVANTAGES
Steps
Pipeline assembled in shore in parallel segments of 200m to 300m
When weather is favourable, the first section is pulled out through the
surf zone
When the landward ends reaches the shoreline the pulling stops
Next 200 or 300m pipeline is rolled sideways into the launching rope
