Definitions
- a continuous support such as would be provided, for example, if the pipeline were to be laid directly on the barge deck, is undesirable because the feeding out/hauling in of the pipeline would generate too much friction between the pipeline and the supporting deck surface.
- Lifting of the pipeline and its manipulation in the longitudinal direction with the aid of crane equipment Is highly undesirable as well as impossible to implement in practice.
- a further and particularly advantageous improvement on this apparatus is the construction of said storage section as a section of track line extending diagonally downward from one end of the horizontal bearing section.
- the carriers slide down into the storage section, as mentioned above, and will remain there, ready for reuse when the pipeline is drawn up (hauled in).
- the carriers may then be brought successively from the storage section into supporting contact with the pipeline and pass over into the horizontal bearing section, which forms the storage area.
- the carriers may be coupled to a flexible, elongated drive member, for example a chain, running in the longitudinal direction of the body or pipeline.
- Figs. 8, 9 and 10 show potential embodiment forms of brackets for supporting a guide track, having a cradle running therealong with the associated pipeline borne thereon.
- Ramp 4 is positioned at the stern end of barge 1 and forms a support path for flexible pipeline 3.
- the visible end of the flexible pipeline is provided with a connector head 5, from which a cable 6 extends to a winch 7.
- a guide track 8 extends in the direction toward winch 7, which track is sufficiently long to receive the entire length of pipeline 3.
- the length of pipeline 3 may be, for example, as long as 50 m or more.
- the guide track may be straight, or it may be provided with a curve in the horizontal plane.
- This support may be in the form of slide surfaces or support wheels having a vertical axis 28 that is built into carriers 10. The slide surface or support wheel where necessary runs against a support surface 29; see Fig. 8b.
