ABSTRACT:
A heavy duty flexible marine pipeline has the capability of being assembled on the surface of the sea. In order to do this a certain amount of slack is required in the pipeline. Both deep and shallow water systems are described. The deep water system has an operational minimum depth about midway between the sea floor and the surface. Tension force in the pipe sections is automatically compensated and is relayed to adjacent pairs of vertically taut anchor cables. The pipeline is buoyant and the flexible pipe wall has a very high bursting strength and the pipeline is therefore particularly adapted to deep water applications.
