Procedure Pipeline

This document discusses various techniques for installing underwater pipelines, including: - The S-lay installation method for flexible risers at PLEM (Pipeline End Manifold) using heavy chains, suction caisson, and winches. - Components of PLEM such as the suction caisson, mooring joint, heavy chain, flexible riser, and riser buoy. - Procedures for pipeline shore approach which involves pulling layout, pulling head, and winch capacity. - Factors considered in design such as material grade, water depth, tensioner capacity, overbend radius, sea state, and response amplitude operator (RAO). Criteria include DNV simplified laying criteria.
