  3. Submarine pipeline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_pipeline

    One of the earliest and most critical tasks in a submarine pipeline planning exercise is the route selection. [5] This selection has to consider a variety of issues, some of a political nature, but most others dealing with geohazards, physical factors along the prospective route, and other uses of the seabed in the area considered.

    Platforms offshore Mexico. Offshore geotechnical engineering is a sub-field of geotechnical engineering. It is concerned with foundation design, construction, maintenance and decommissioning for human-made structures in the sea. [1] Oil platforms, artificial islands and submarine pipelines are examples of such structures. The seabed has to be ...

  5. Pipe-laying ship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe-laying_ship

    Lay methods consist of J-lay and S-lay and can be reel-lay or welded length by length. Pipelaying ships make use of dynamic positioning systems or anchor spreads to maintain the correct position and speed while laying pipe. Recent advances have been made, with pipe being laid in water depths of more than 2,500 metres (8,200 ft).

  6. Submarine power cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_power_cable

    Alternating-current (AC) submarine cable systems for transmitting lower amounts of three-phase electric power can be constructed with three-core cables in which all three insulated conductors are placed into a single underwater cable. Most offshore-to-shore wind-farm cables are constructed this way.

  7. Subsea production system - Wikipedia
