Abstract

SUBSEA PIPELAY BY BOTTOM TOWING FREQUENTLY IS NOT FEASIBLE IN AREAS OF DIFFICULT UNDERSEA TERRAIN OR DUE TO THE LOCATION OF OTHER PIPELINES. THE PRESENT INVENTION OVERCOMES THIS PROBLEM BY FLYING THEPIPESTRING (2) UNDERWATER WITH THE USE OF WINGS (1) WHICH PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIFT TO MAINTAIN THE PIPESTRING OFF BOTTOM AS IT IS TOWED.@@@(FIG. 1)
