... slipping and bending. Consequently, winch systems designed for steel rope cause the rapid wear of fibre rope. On the other hand, existing systems for the handling of fibre rope are relatively slow, work discontinuously and/or require a complex design and intricate control systems. Developing a new type...

... approximately 600 metres long using a construction site at Point of Ayr. The pipeslrings were pulled into position by the bottom pull technique using an 800 tonne capacity winch spread on a marine barge. On completion of the pulling operation the pipelines were buried in the seabed using a submarine trenching...

... The surface handling system is fully heave compensated using an inertial sensor to measure vertical displacement. The information is fed into a computer which operates the hydraulics of the lifting winch when it is in the heave compensation mode. The system is similar to that used in British...

... mooring. Finally, an investigation was carried out to assess the performance of a position-controlled winch system used in conjunction with the stern moorings. The tests showed that significantly lower line-tensions were obtained in comparison with the conventional stern moorings and snatching...

... is mated with the wellhead cellar - LPS'S name for this enclosure - at the time of flowline pull-in, it was decided to make use of the downhaul winch and cable for the pull-in task. The problems which remained were those of establishing the pulling cables from the wellhead to the surface, scaling around...
