Subsea Manifold Installation   Manifold should be installed on the top of landing platform of suction pile after installation. Review video of suction pile installation here https://lnkd.in/dK_qi6Qc #subsea #offshore

The 5,000-tonne self-propelled full-circle slewing #crane #vessel, built by #ZPMC, has successfully completed its maiden voyage. The vessel spans 203 meters in length, 50 meters in width, and 18 meters in depth. It features a 5,000-tonne full-turn crane at the stern, offering a full-turn lifting capacity of 3,500 tonnes. The main hook can reach up to 130 meters above the deck, allowing for precise and rapid positioning in deep-sea areas. Primarily designed for the construction of #wind #power #foundations, including single piles and jacket structures for turbine units of 13 megawatts or more, this vessel also supports offshore oil platform operations, large cross-sea bridge construction, heavy lifting of massive structures, and the salvage of oversized sunken ships or objects. By extending the construction weather window for deep-sea wind power projects, it effectively reduces project costs while setting a new standard in energy efficiency and public safety.

Discover the power of Traction Winches from Reel Power Oil & Gas. These winches are essential for holding back and controlling tension on wire ropes, ROV cables, synthetic ropes, and wirelines. Often referred to as dual wheel capstans, they excel at managing tension for loading materials onto a winch that cannot support high line tensions on lower layers. Ideal for demanding applications, our Traction Winches ensure precision and safety in your operations. Experience reliable tension control and enhanced operational efficiency. Learn more about how our Traction Winches can benefit your projects. Visit our website for details. #TensionControl #WinchSolutions #MarineEngineering #ReelPower

Pile run during installation could have profound consequences for offshore wind projects ranging from the uncontrolled drop of the piling hammer resulting in dynamic snatch loads on the crane, and in extreme cases, complete loss of the pile. 🌊Acteon Group develops robust installation solutions to minimise and mitigate the risk of pile run. Location-specific driving plans are developed, detailing geotechnical installation risk at each location and hammer operations recommendations. 🤝Learn how we can support your project: https://hubs.ly/Q02Bnc8S0 #pilerun #hammers #fixedwind #offshorewind

Did you know that the average depth of a pipeline is just 900mm?   And there are 14,000km of our members pipelines buried across the UK, meaning you are often much closer to a pipeline than you think.   Don’t take that risk when excavating. Always use LSBUD (Linesearch BeforeUdig) before you begin work. #healthandsafety #pipelinesafety #oilandgas #constructionsafety #safedigging #safetyfirst #constructionplanning #didyouknow

Another Successful Subsea Hydrate Detection Campaign. Off the west coast of Africa, a client faced a pipeline flow assurance issue that hindered them from utilising their pipeline at its designed flow rate, causing a downturn in production.    To address this, TSC Subsea deployed its award-winning vPush tool, featuring our proprietary Acoustic Resonance Technology (ART).   The vPush is a rapid-screening ROV-deployed scanner designed to locate hydrate plugs from the external surface of the pipeline. Unlike existing tools which require full 360-degree access, the vPush only needs access to the top half of the pipe, significantly reducing the need for dredging.   Building on the commitments from global operators, we are now launching a mini-JIP to further develop the vPush hydrate detection tool. This initiative will specifically test its capabilities to detect asphaltenes, waxes, and sand, enhancing its functionality and broadening its application scope.   Register your interest in this ground-breaking pipeline blockage detection and quantification JIP with Paul Chittenden at pchitttenden@tscsubsea.com   Discover vPush:  https://lnkd.in/ei622Vwf #tscsubsea #flowassurance #pipelines #hydrate #subsea #subseaengineering #oilandgas

The AWWA classification system does not represent the true capabilities of such reinforced hose liners accurately. The classification was developed around CIPP and coating system capabilities. These reinforced hose liners may not be designed for external loads, but they can be designed for MUCH higher internal pressures than a typical Class 3 or Class 4 liner. A Class 3 liner is generally "bonded" to the host pipe causing strain failure in the event of a host pipe failure. Obviously, these reinforced hose liners do not suffer from that limitation of Class 3 liners. But to qualify as a Class 4 liner, you must not only avoid bonding to the host pipe, you must also be able to handle external loads. Reinforced hose liners are designed to carry minimal external loading with very low inherent ring stiffness. For Class IV, the lack of full length bonding generally requires an intentional seal (often mechanical) at each of the branch connections, valves, etc. down the length of each liner segment. This is often handled mechanically with excavation at each connection point. Reinforced hose liners share this limitation with Class IV liners.

Did you miss our Shallow Water Trencher case study?    Our latest case study take a look at the performance of the SMD Shallow Water Trencher (SWT) during a challenging offshore windfarm project, achieving burial depths of over 1.8 meters in varied water conditions, all while racing against a tight deadline. Our dedicated team ensured smooth operations with a well-planned deck arrangement and top-notch offshore service support, prioritizing safety management every step of the way. This project is a testament to the SWT’s efficiency and reliability, highlighting SMD's dedication to providing innovative subsea solutions that get the job done.

Impact pile driving, Jask, Iran Pile driving is commonly used in the construction of foundations for docks, bridges, wind turbines, and offshore oil and gas platforms. The most common technique of pile driving is impact pile driving. With this method, a heavy weight is lifted and dropped against the top of a pile (a wood, steel, or reinforced concrete, pole), driving it into the substrate. Pile driving produces high sound pressure levels in both the surrounding air and underwater environment. Sound levels vary substantially, and the size of the hammer, diameter of the pile, as well as properties of the seafloor, influence the source level and frequency of the signals generated. During impact pile driving, sound from the hammer striking the pile radiates into the air and a pulse propagates down the length of the pile and into the substrate as well as the surrounding waters. #piling #marineconstruction #piledriving #marinework

🎉Dajin Heavy Industry Co.,Ltd has successfully completed the first TP-less monopile for #RWE Nordseecluster A project at their Penglai Facility. The Nordseecluster project marks not only our largest offshore monopile project to date, with a total of 104 MPs, but also our second overseas offshore foundation project undertaking transportation responsibilities, following the Thor project. #epcprojects #dajinoffshore #offshorewind #windenergy #monopile
