SUBMAT FLEXIFORM
1

Submat Flexiform is a low cost flexible concrete mattress developed as an addition to Submats proven range of Submat bitumen mattresses which have been successfully utilised for stabilisation / protection of marine pipework for over three decades. Introduced at the beginning of 1991, Submat flexiform has itself established an impressive track record with various projects successfully completed on time, full details of which are available upon request. Flexiform consists of high strength concrete segments linked together with a network of high strength polypropylene ropes to form a continuous flexible concrete barrier. Flexiform by virtue of individually profiled concrete segments is able to provide a high degree of flexibility in two planes and as such allows for complete stabilisation / protection in most applications i.e. straightforward pipeline cover, at pipeline bends intersections on trenched / untrenched pipelines, for counter-action to seabed scouring or where there are pronounced undulations in the seabed profile. Flexiform can be installed with a simple quick release installation beam / frame which can be provided as an integral part of the order.

Submat Bitumen Mattress the oceans pipeline stabilisation and protection system.

1. Installation 2. Partially embedded 3. Permanent anchorage 3

Developed and patented by Submat in 1971, the Submat Bitumen Mattress is the original subsea pipeline stabilisation / protection mattress and is synonymous with the business of subsea pipeline stabilisation and protection. The Submat Bitumen Mattress has been deployed on numerous projects throughout the world up to the present time, and remains today a proven cost effective solution to many applications associated with subsea pipeline technology. The Submat Bitumen Mattress consists of a durable outer canvas envelope c/w integral lifting slings which is filled with a dense suitably reinforced bitu-mastic filler material, all of which combine to produce a flexible mattress that is suited for dealing with all pipeline support, stabilisation and protection requirements. Submat Bitumen Mattress in its solid form retains a flexible nature even in the coldest operational conditions which enables the mattress to respond to ever changing seabed conditions which are particularly attributed to the problems of scour. The Submat Bitumen Mattress with its relatively void-less mass and size versatility is particularly successful in applications such as pipeline crossovers whereby support piers may be constructed with a minimal number of offshore lifts. The Submat Bitumen Mattresses is installed with a simple quick release frame which can be supplied as an integral part of each order.

BLOWN GRANULAR MARINE MASTIC (PATENT NO. GB2372251)

Blown Granular Marine Mastic, Grade D2/S is produced in accordance with our unique quality controlled process. The granular D2/S mastic has the appearance of loose, free flowing powdery granules, delivered in bulk bags ready for use. Bag size can be varied, but is typically around 1.2 to 1.3 tonnes.

ADVANTAGES OF USING BLOWN GRANULAR MASTIC

Free flowing characteristics More rapid melt down More convenient transport system (bulk bags) for improved logistics & offshore efficiency Less likely to clump and to be tacky

Blown Granular Marine Mastic is designed to include a controlled moisture content to enhance the products free flowing characteristics. A product, which is user friendly, easy to handle and melts rapidly, speeding up the joint sealing process.

RECOMMENDED STORAGE/POURING TEMPERATURES Marine Mastic Working Storage Temperature: 170oC - 210oC

If due to operational requirements, there is a need to maintain the mastic at working temperature for an extended time, the following recommendations should be followed. a) b) c) d) e) Do not hold at a temperature of 200oC for more than 6 hours or 8 hours at 180oC. Pre-plan the storage time and if in excess of those in a) the holding temperature should be reduced to 150oC or lower to be consistent with maintaining movement of the mastic in the Dope Kettle. When storage time is to exceed that in a) fresh material and or 85/25 Bitumen shall be added in sufficient quantity to maintain an acceptable flow characteristic. For extended storage times, lids on the Dope Kettle, where fitted, shall be closed to restrict exposure to the air which may accelerate hardening. After extended storage time at any temperature above melt, the mastic should be inspected and Pure Bitumen added when necessary to bring the mastic to an acceptable consistency.

IMPACT RESISTANT COVERS

Submat specialises in the design and manufacture of impact resistant concrete covers against given performance criteria. A standard semi-circular tunnel shape unit has been developed in addition to bespoke designed units for particular applications. Submat covers have been designed to accept loading up to 800 kj due to dropped objects and 45 kj due to trawl boards.

The shape of the covers are designed to attract the least hydrodynamic loads and hence reduce scour. However, additional scour prevention systems (fronds) can easily be incorporated where necessary. Covers can be stacked for economical use of deck space.

Impact resistant covers (trawlboard and dropped object) for expansion spools on the TOTAL Dunbar Project.

Sizes can be designed to facilitate road transportation. Where larger units prohibit logistical movements, covers can be manufacture at a load out quay.

DESIGN
Examples of SLPs Design & Build projects

Submat personnel can provide all necessary design expertise including all computing and CAD facilities to prepare detailed designs, studies and reports for all aspects of offshore design. In house software has been developed to enable impact data and pipeline stability to be analysed. The development of concrete for use in a marine environment is well proven and the cost effectiveness of concrete as an alternative to traditional options has been demonstrated many times. Concrete is inherently a cheap material to produce and can be readily adapted. When properly designed the durability of concrete products in a marine environment out performs steel and requires no additional treatments such as cathodic protection or coatings. Used as gravity structures, no additional installation measures such as piling or ballasting are required to provide stability. It is our policy to provide the client with a complete package by providing cost effective solutions which consider aspects such as lift limitations, ease of positioning on the sea bed, transportation and optimised use of the installation vessel. Design aspects undertaken include:
Flowline crossing bridge

Pre-assembled pipespool bridge

Stability calculations to optimise mattress sizing for site specific environmental loading. Calculations and detailed design for trawlboard and dropped object resistance. Mattresses, covers, pipe supports, ramps, bridge crossings, anchor blocks etc. can all be designed to site specific requirements. Foundation design for pipe support systems. Scour prevention and remedial design studies. Innovative designs using reinforced and pre-stressed concrete for subsea applications. Hazard studies for impact criteria and risk from trawlboard effects. Research into the use of alternative concrete mix designs, e.g. lightweight and heavy weight aggregates, fibre reinforcement etc.

FROND FLEXIFORM CONCRETE MATTRESS

The Frond Flexiform Mattress, is a combined buoyant frond scour mat and flexible concrete mattress available in several standard variants, all have the same continuous and significantly overlapping parallel lines of buoyant fibrillated polypropylene fronds attached to and aligned with, the lines of the concrete blocks. No steel members (nor any other metals) are used in the blocks this avoids dissimilar metal corrosion problems that have arisen in the offshore oil and gas industry from the use of slag in rock dumps. The Frond Line attachment points are moulded into the concrete base blocks.

FROND FLEXIFORM CONCRETE MATTRESS The Frond Flexiform Mattress combines all the features of both a flexible concrete mattress and a buoyant frond scour control mat in one: and in particular it offers the following benefits: installation is simple and swift, and it provides both instant stabilisation / protection and immediate hold down; the creation of long term fibre reinforced, consolidated and vibration compacted sediment bank build up over the mattress substantially adds to the degree of stabilisation / protection afforded and provides an exceptional reduction in scour potential close to structures; it provides scour protection for an area somewhat greater than the actual area covered by the mattress: the individually profiled concrete segments provide a high degree of flexibility in two planes and allow for a complete stabilisation / protection of subsea structures and pipelines and offer a linked flexible foundation to ensure that load is spread evenly over an area; and the fronds prevent edge scour and also halt internecine block (or rock) scour, this eliminates any requirement for the use of geotextile filter screens under a Frond Flexiform mattress. The submerged weight of the mattress on first installation will increase as the scour control system creates a fibrereinforced bank over the base mattress. The rate of build up and size of such bank varies from site to site. The build up of the material bank within the Frond Flexiform mattress is non-linear. The 1.25m high fronds create the greatest viscous drag when first deployed and the initial 200mm to 300mm of mat/mattress infill occurs quickly in normal tidal conditions given the sort of sediment sizes at most offshore sites. As the material bank forms, the exposed frond length is reduced, the mat creates less viscous drag and the rate of formation of the material bank slows until a steady state is reached. The sediment bank created is considerably more stable and more dense than the natural surrounding seabed: many surveys have confirmed that it is considerably consolidated by the vibratory movement of fronds during the sedimentary period and once in place it is permanently reinforced by the frond material. Any sediment bank so formed extends out from the frond area to cover the sides of the base mattress extending out in descending curve to seabed level for a distance slightly greater that the height of the formed bank the final shape of such a curve depends upon the coefficient of friction of the seabed particles. SBM-DTS-031 Rev 3 Page 1 of 3 15

FROND FLEXIFORM CONCRETE MATTRESS

SEDIMENT BANK PROJECTION For offshore sites after some 20 to 45 days a significant, compacted and solid sediment bed will be in place and a height of not less than 450mm is normal; the final height of bank with a frond height of 1,250mm should should safely exceed 900mm in height after some 40 to 75 days. The formation of such a sediment bank over the Mattress provides submerged weigh or hold down. A typical submerged weight of sand particles is 819.5kg/m3, but the range is large thus the submerged weight of the fibre reinforced material bank can vary. For a 5.0m x 3.0m Frond area this should be: after 20 days: in the range 6.67 tonnes to 5.5 tonnes this is additional to the base mattress concrete block weight (with 150mm base blocks = 2.28t submerged weight and with 300mm base blocks =4.18t submerged weight). after 40 to 75 days: in the range 15.0 tonnes 11.08 tonnes + base mattress concrete block submerged weight.

BUOYANT FROND MATERIAL UV stabilised Polypropylene. Fully tested Chemically Resistant. Specific gravity 0.908 and 0.92. Full fibrillated and with profiled film. FROND LENGTH & ATTACHMENT Buoyant Fronds are attached to Mattress in successive continuous rows providing substantial and unbroken overlap of fronds to those in the neighbouring rows. Frond clumps are NEVER used. Frond Length (height when deployed) of the lines of buoyant frond material is 1250mm. In riverine (and other special situations) lesser frond heights allied to a proportionate increase in frond density (spacing) in the frond rows may be used. A Safe Net frond release is provided for diver and ROV safety. STANDARD BLOCK THICKNESS 150mm, 300mm, and 450mm. STANDARD BLOCK DENSITY 2.4 Tonnes / Cubic Metre. Lightweight and Heavy Density options are also available from 1.8 - 3.6 Tonnes / m3.

FROND FLEXIFORM CONCRETE MATTRESS TECHNICAL DATA

TOTAL SUBMERGED WEIGHT The submerged weight will increase due to the material bank formed by the fronds: the weight of the bank varies according to the seabed composition. A typical submerged weight of sand particles is 819.5kg / m3, but the range is large thus the submerged weight of the fibre reinforced material bank can vary. For a 6m x 4m mattress this should be in the range is large thus the submerged weight of the fibre reinforced material bank can vary. For a 6m x 4m mattress this should be in the range 23.9 tonnes to 19.9 tonnes - this is additional to the concrete weight which with a 150mm thick mattress at standard density would be 3.7 tonnes giving a total submerged hold down of 27.6 to 23.6 tonnes. STANDARD MATTRESS SIZES Standard mould sizes are 10m x 3m in plan area. Mattress may be manufactured in any size within mould dimensions subject to standard block sizes. For pipeline overlay either 4m or 5m width by 2, 3, 4, 6 or 10m length is preferred to provide cover 2 to 2m either side of the pipeline as well as over & along the line in a single installation. Mattresses in excess of standard mould sizes may be manufactured to order.
