Description

Technical Field

[0002] There are more and more offshore oil platforms and offshore wind turbines. These facilities all need to transmit energy or oil and gas through pipelines, which are very important subsea facilities. With the increase of regional development, in many cases, it is necessary to install a new pipeline across an existing pipeline. When the two pipelines cross, the newly laid pipeline will exert additional pressure on the original pipeline. At the same time, the newly laid pipeline will also have a suspension span at the crossing position, and the suspended span section is prone to bending deformation and damage. In order to ensure the safe operation of subsea pipelines, according to the specification requirements, it is necessary to protect the original pipeline. At present, the conventional treatment method is to place concrete blocks above the original pipeline along its direction, then form a transition gentle slope by piling sandbags, and then lay a new pipeline above it to protect the original pipeline. However, due to the relatively high edge of the concrete block, and the block pressing on the pipeline will increase the weight of the underlying pipeline, which brings risks to its safe operation.
