Abstract:
The paper will discuss the stages of design and verification of a novel pipelay system called g-lay as implemented on the CEONA Amazon.  The paper will in brief, discuss the market  forces that  have guided the concept development and functional specification of the pipelay system.  The paper will then focus on the in-depth process involved in the verification of the pipelay system including pipe bending and associated FE modelling, as well as whole system simulation focusing on pipe strains and ovality development.

 

The SUT was founded to promote the further understanding of the underwater environment and to encourage cross-fertilization and dissemination of ideas, experience and information between workers in academic research, applied research and technology, industry and government development of techniques and tools to explore and study oceans, proper economic and sociological use of our resources in and beneath the oceans further education of scientists and technologists to maintain high standards in marine science and technology.

This multi-disciplinary learned Society brings together organizations and individuals with a common interest in underwater technology, ocean science and offshore engineering. The SUT was founded in 1966 and has members from more than 30 countries, including engineers, scientists, other professionals, and students working in these areas.
