ABSTRACT:
A telescopic flare pipe tower supports a flare pipe several hundred feet above the base level and includes a bottom section in contact with the base that may be the ground or the platform or deck offshore. The bottom section has a door or opening through which tower section assemblies including a tower section and a flare pipe section are transported on a dolly travelling on a track and telescopically raised above the bottom section. Each tower section assembly includes a flare pipe that permits vertical movement relative to the tower section but substantially restricts lateral movement. Upon installation of the second tower section assembly below the superposed previously telescoped tower section assembly the flare pipe section may be raised by a jack positioned on the ground, the deck or other base level to move the flare pipe section up to the superposed flare pipe section for welding.
The method of erecting the telescopic flare pipe tower utilizes the track system with the dolly carrying the tower section assemblies into the bottom section. Each tower section assembly then may be telescopically raised in serial sequence. The flare pipe section is raised by a hydraulic jack to permit welding of the flare pipe sections to form a flare pipe.
