Pipeline company, Eurospiraal is looking for new applications in spiral pipeline transport to transport its prefabricated pipe to its location as it is considered to be more cost effective than making individual units up offshore. It is found that prefabrication allows for optimal control of costs and quality in pipeline manufacturing. A further advantage is that it obviates the need for lay barges or reeling vessels that can be very expensive when compared to capital and operational expenses of towing the floating pipelines. Pipeline manufacturers, contractors and operators are examining a number of concepts to reinforce many fundamental advantages of using floating pipes for offshore pipeline installations.
