Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for cutting upright pipes anchored with their lower end in the ground, in particular support legs of an offshore oil drilling or production platform, according to the preambles of claims 1 and 4, respectively.
- the support legs are only embedded in the seabed, for example rammed in, and hold due to the friction in the seabed. If this is not enough, the alternative is to insert the sunken foot of the support legs underwater concrete or the like, which possibly emerges partially from the lower end of the pipe in the surrounding seabed and, after hardening, forms an artificially created foundation anchored in the seabed, to the anchoring effect of which the effect of the weight of the concrete is added fills the lower part of the respective pipe up to a certain height.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device and a method with which pipes of great length and large diameter such as the pillars of offshore production platforms, despite materials in the pipes, such as soil or concrete, can be obtained quickly and therefore economically even under the Seabed can be separated.
- a cutting unit is used for this purpose, which is inserted through the upper open end of the support leg and lowered into the separating point therein, the material in the tube being drilled out as far as the separating point when the cutting unit is lowered.
- An embodiment of the method according to claim 2 is particularly advantageous, in which a cutting unit is brought into effect with a cutting tool on the inner circumference of the pipe and the pipe is cut progressively in a circumferential direction from the inside to the outside.
- a cutting separation process is quick, since thick chips are removed from the relatively soft structural steel of the tube and a groove with a high groove in the narrow separation zone extending in the circumferential direction Feed and high removal rate can be introduced until the entire material cross section is severed. Since the separation takes place from the inside, it does not matter where the separation point is located with respect to the seabed; the function of the process is not influenced by the external conditions.
- the The weight of the tube is expedient according to claim 3, which can be done in a manner yet to be described by supporting the parts of the support structure on adjacent still-standing support legs.
- a device which is characterized in that a rotatably drivable drilling tool head is arranged under the cutting unit, by means of which material such as seabed or concrete or the like located in the lower region of the pipe. can be drilled out, for example, over the inner cross section of the pipe to the point of separation or a little further.
- the diameter of the bore corresponds at least to that of the cutting unit. This has the effect that the cutting unit can be lowered to the severing location. The lowering movement is not hindered by the cutting tool.
- the cutting assembly according to claim 2 comprises at least one radially movable cutting tool that can be pressed against the inner circumference of the tube by means of a power drive, the engagement point of which can be progressively displaced in the circumferential direction in a plane substantially perpendicular to the tube axis.
- the cutting tool is only extended radially after reaching the separation point and is then cut through the pipe by cutting through the wall. strength continuous inner circumferential groove against its inner circumference.
- the cutting unit comprises a plurality of cutting tools distributed symmetrically around the pipe axis, which come into effect at the same time in the same cutting groove.
- the power drive is designed as a fluid-operated piston / cylinder unit.
- an embodiment according to claim 10 is advantageous.
- the effect of this is that the air that rises above the platform signals the complete severing of the pipe, so that the cutting process can be stopped immediately afterwards, thereby preventing the cutting tools from rubbing against the edges of the separating groove and in the outside of the pipe increased wear or even breakage of the seabed.
- a cleaning device which cleans the working area of the cutting tools from residues of the adhering material before the cutting tools attack.
- the cleaning device can e.g. comprise a brush-like arrangement of cleaning elements.
- a support device is provided which intercepts the weight of the tube during the separation process.
- the support device can comprise an approximately identical length of the support tube which can be inserted into an adjacent already separated tube and which is located at the lower end in the tube on the sea floor or the tube foundation formed by the underwater concrete attaches and can be connected at the upper end to the separated tube, which can be done in the manner described in claim 14 by a hydraulically clamped cone clamp connection.

- the contact pressure of the cutting plate 26 against the inner wall of the pipe can be adjusted to influence the cutting result via the pressure of the compressed air or hydraulic fluid supplied through the supply line 22.
- the piston is moved downward and the cutting tool 24 is pushed back into its starting position 24 ', so that the cutting unit 40 can be pulled upward out of the separated tube 13.
- the swiveling of the cutting tool 24 towards the inner tube wall or the actuation of the piston / cylinder unit can take place in a variety of ways known to the person skilled in the art.

It is the task of the drilling tool head 60 to drill out material located in the pipe within the lower section of the pipe 13 to be cut down to below the separation point 9 so that the cutting unit 40 can reach the separation point 9 provided.
- the air lifting method briefly indicated with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 is used.

When the lifting device 64 is actuated, the remainder 63 is pulled up on the support tube 80. The upper part of the tube 13 is taken along. A defined distance is established between the attachment of the lifting cylinder 64 and the top of the rest 63 of the platform, which distance is to be maintained during the entire separation process of the other support legs. A gap is created at the separation point 9.
- a permanent tension between the support tube and the tube 13 is now achieved via the cone-tensioning connection 62, so that the pressure in the lifting cylinder is constantly maintained 64 no longer arrives.
- the pipes already cut off adjacent to the pipe 13 to be cut off and the residues 63 of the platform connected therewith are securely held up in this way, so that the entire structure does not collapse at the separation point 9 of the pipe 13 being processed. Without the support device, the cutting inserts 26, 126 could become jammed in the inner circumferential groove 45 (FIG. 4) formed at the point of separation 9 when the remaining wall cross section of the tube 13 is no longer able to cope with the load.
