  • a trenching machine 1 is positioned over a pipeline 2 on a seabed 5.
  • the trenching machine 1 is attached via a coupling 10 and steering mechanism to a connecting pipe 9.
  • the trenching machine 1 is controlled and operated from a vessel in the form of a trailer suction hopper dredger (not shown).
  • the trenching machine 1 uses the high jet and dredge pump power of the hopper dredger in order to post lower the pipeline 2. In most cases this can be done in a single pass dependent on the trench depth and soil encountered.

  • the legs 4 are attached via a hydraulic system to the trenching body 3.
  • the legs 4 can be raised and lowered hydraulically and independently from each other to allow safe deployment of the trencher above the pipeline 2 and to adjust the desired trench depth.
  • the legs 4 are raised and lowered by pivoting about an axis perpendicular to the pipeline 2.
  • the hydraulic system is in the form of an electric motor driving a hydraulic pump which provides oil to an oil filled valve tank.
  • the suction pipe 12 and the jet water pipe 14 are attached via a universal and rotatable coupling 10 to the trenching machine 1 to give three axes of freedom for the trenching machine 1 namely pitch, roll and yaw.
  • Fine steering means are provided at the coupling 10.
  • the fine steering means is in the form of a hydraulic module which does not rely on contact with the pipeline 2 and which alters the direction of the skids 8 by reference to the coupling 10.
  • the trenching machine 1 is a seabed referencing device which runs on skids 8.
  • the trenching body 3 has two skids 8 positioned on either sides of the legs 4.
  • the trenching machine 1 has roll freedom so that it can follow the shape of the seabed 5. In this way, the horizontal position of the trenching machine 1 is unaffected by the connecting pipe 9.
  • the skids 8 are sufficiently large to give adequate support on soft soil.
  • the skids 8 are placed sufficiently in advance of the legs 4 in order to reduce the risk of undermining by the excavation.
  • the figures show the skids 8 in two different height positions.
  • the trenching machine 1 is provided with a surveillance system which includes obstacle avoidance sonar to look ahead and to the side of the trenching machine 1, profiling sonar at the front and back of the trenching machine 1 for locating the pipeline 2 and monitoring the trench created. Cameras are also provided, one forward, one aft and both on pan and tilt. Four lights are also mounted on the trenching machine 1 in optimum positions.
  • the trenching machine 1 includes an instrumentation system with load cells to measure force, in cylinder transducers to measure position and a number of other transducers.

  • the unit communicates via the connecting pipe 9 with the control cabin on the bridge of the vessel.
  • the unit also controls the hydraulic valves, instrumentation and surveillance.
  • An umbilical system linking the vessel to the junction box is attached to the suction pipe 12 and is an armoured type.
  • Control equipment for the trenching machine 1 is installed on the bridge of the dredging vessel.
  • All the power, umbilical and signal cables are glanded into a separate air conditioned area of the vessel to keep the temperature of the components within their operational limits. All high voltage equipment is shielded and the transformers are enclosed in a frame for safety.
  • a processor system is provided which is designed so that the operator can directly change transducer calibration constants and alarm levels, and can chose the graphics picture layout.
  • the system also has flexibility. If, say, an extra transducer is added, then the required changes to the software can be done quickly and easily using a programmer.
  • the processor system is initially programmed by a computer. During normal operations the computer and processor system are linked. A data logging packager is provided so the information can be obtained as hard copy from the printer and in addition the data can be logged onto the computer hard disc.
  • a "snapshot" of the control system can be taken and printed out. This shows all variables at the time the snapshot was requested together with scaling factors and alarm system settings.
  • a spare computer is also provided which can be used to monitor data in the processor system running program. It is not possible to both data log and monitor the processor system program from one computer at the same time, so the use of two computers allows continuous data logging, even if processor system monitoring is required for reasons such as fault diagnosis or changes to software.
  • a chart recorder is used to provide a visual record of chosen variables.
  • the chart recorder generates an independent "real time" record.
  • a remote display unit is provided, and this is usually mounted on the bridge.
  • the remote display unit contains two black and white monitors and two RGB monitors.
  • the pilot screen, profiling sonar and two TV pictures can be displayed, using outputs from video switches in a control area.
  • the trenching machine 1 is designed to suit post trenching of varying diameters of pipeline from 20'' to 46'' and trench depths from 0.0 to 3.0 m. Prior to deployment from the dredger the trenching machine 1 will be adjusted to alter the length and distance between the trenching machine's legs 4 in accordance with the given pipeline 2 diameter. Also the skids 8 will be set in order to achieve the clearance required with the given trench depth in view of possible freespans of the pipeline 2 between dunes on the seabed 5.
  • Depth of trenching is controlled by setting the angle of incidence of the legs 4 to the seabed 5 and the length of leg 4 which penetrates the seabed 5.
  • the legs 4 are modular and can therefore be lengthened or shortened prior to deployment.
  • Deployment of the trenching machine 1 takes place with the vessel moving forwards on dynamic tracking at around 0.3 to 3.0 knots.
  • the as laid pipeline coordinates (vertical and horizontal) will have been input to the vessel's navigation and dredging computers prior to deployment.
  • the deployment position will be 200 to 300m ahead of the start of the trenching run.
  • the trenching machine 1 is lowered to 5m above the seabed 5.
  • the electronic and visual sensor arrays installed on the trenching machine 1 are used for additional reference information.
  • the trenching machine 1 is then positioned laterally over the pipeline 2 by manual joy stick operation from the control position on the bridge of the vessel. Lateral position can be fine tuned by the jet water nozzles 22 exerting sidewards thrust.
  • the trenching machine 1 is lowered over the pipeline 2 and supported on its skids 8 on the seabed 5.
  • the trenching machine's 1 position is further adjusted by the forward motion provided by the vessel via the suction pipe, and fine steering by a hydraulic module fitted to the coupling 10.
  • This steering module which does not rely on contact with the pipeline 2, alters the skid 8 direction by reference to the universal coupling joint 10 between the trenching machine 1 and suction pipe 12.
  • the fine steering mechanism consists of an hydraulic cylinder which acts from the connecting pipe 9 to the rotating part of the universal coupling 10. As such the trencher body can rotate in the horizontal plane around the vertical axis of universal coupling 10, providing fine steering capacity around the theoretical pipeline alignment.
  • the fine steering is operated by joy-stick control from the control console on the vessel bridge.
  • one of the trenching legs 4 is hydraulically lowered into the seabed 5, which is at the greatest distance from the pipeline 2. Whilst moving forwards, the trenching machine 1 is further aligned and the other trenching leg 4 is lowered from the moment that the sensors display the position of the pipeline 2 in the center of the trenching machine 1.
  • the trenching operation can start.
  • the trenching from here on is an automated process with a manual overview and over-ride capability.
  • the complete operation is controlled by the dredging, trenching and navigation computers which monitor and steer the dredger hopper and trenching machine 1.
  • the trenching machine 1 is designed to operate at forward speeds between 0.3 and 3 knots, the forward movement being provided by pulling loads via the vessel's suction pipe 12.
  • the jet nozzles 22, 24 mounted on the front and inside of the trenching machine's legs 4 cause localised fluidisation of the soil thus reducing resistance to the legs 4 forward motion through the soil.
  • one trenching pass will be required to lower the pipeline 2 into sand to a depth of 1.5 m.
  • multipass operation could be required.
  • Trenching is achieved by the vessel's massive suction power ability to pump the soil liquified by the jets 22, 24 out of the trench.
  • suction ducts 20 are installed at some distance behind the jets 22, 24.
  • the soil under the pipeline 2 is sucked out of the trench via these ducts 20, and using the suction tube 12 and dredge pump, to which the trenching machine 1 is attached, the trench material can be loaded into the vessel's hopper.
  • the standard procedure however will be to repump the soil down a second suction pipe of the vessel to the seabed at approximately 30-40m parallel to the trench on the other side of the vessel with the mouth of the second suction pipe 10m or more above the seabed 5.
  • warning signals from strain sensitive contact rollers 6 on each of the trenching machine's legs 4 are monitored at the trenching machine's control console on the vessel bridge.
  • a continuous read out of the lateral contact pressure of the rollers 6 on the pipeline 2 will be available for pipe stress analysis purposes.
  • the tracking system continuously checks the horizontal and vertical position of the pipeline 2 in relation to the trenching machine's skids 8.
  • Similar vertical rollers 7 are also mounted on the trenching machine 1 to monitor any vertical contact forces to the pipeline 2. In order to have sufficient span crossing ability in case of post trenching being executed over sand dunes, a vertical clearance of 2.5m is available between the pipeline 2 and the trenching machine's main body 3 with a given trench depth up to 1.5m.
  • the trenching machine's legs 4 will be left in the seabed 5 at approximately 0.5m depth with the jets 22, 24 operating at reduced volume but without pumping the seabed soil out of the trench.
  • the seabed 5 under the pipeline 2 will be fluidised over limited depth and cause a levelled seabed 5 for the pipeline 2 in areas of minor freespans which could have remained after pipelay.
  • the vessel can then, if necessary, deploy the trenching machine 1 for any subsequent passes required.
  • the trenching machine 1 is provided with equipment, to continuously monitor and control the trenching equipment as the pipeline 2 is lowered into the trench.
  • the monitoring and control includes the following aspects:
