Design of the installation using off-bottom pull (off-bottom pull) with chain support
• The pipeline characteristics are:
• Discharge flow rate: 11.3 m3/s
• Internal diameter: 2,400 mm
• Maximum depth: 60 m
• Length: 3,627 m
Numerous tasks are carried out in connection with defining the off-bottom pull construction process:
• Current study (magnitude and direction)
• Estimation of forces generated by waves and currents
• Design of three types of buoys: flotation, regulation, and pull
• Modelling of the pipe’s structural behaviour using 3D Structural Analysis Software
• Calculation and construction layout of chains
• Design of the pulling system: ropes and cables, pulleys, and their fastening
• Design of a complementary restraint system with anchors and cables
