Pipelaying Vessel or Barge

Pipelaying Vessel (PLV) or Pipelay Barge (PLB) is a specialized floating facility for submerged pipeline laying. It is widely used in offshore fields’ development for laying pipelines up to 60-inche in diameter in the depths of up to 3000 meters in seas & oceans.

Offshore Pipeline Installation

Laying pipe on the seafloor can pose a number of challenges, especially if the water is deep. The most common methods of pipeline lay installation methods are:

  • S-lay (Shallow to Deep)
  • J-lay (Intermediate to Deep)
  • Reel lay (Intermediate to Deep)

S-lay method

The most common method of pipeline installation in shallow water is the S-lay method. In the S-lay method, the welded pipeline is supported on the rollers of the vessel and the stinger, forming the over-bend. Then it is suspended in the water all the way to the seabed, forming the sag-bend. The over-bend and sag-bend form the shape of an ‘‘S.’’
