The purpose of the present paper is to review the special technical challenges related to the construction of marine pipelines, briefly describing their design (design codes and safety formats, wall thickness determination, corrosion prevention, hydrodynamic stability and protection), fabrication (linepipe supply, pipe coating) and installation (survey and seabed intervention, pipelaying, girth welding and field joint preparation, trenching and pre-commissioning). The emphasis is on structural aspects of rigid steel pipelines, thus issues related to flexible pipes, riser design, route selection, pipe sizing, flow assurance and operation are not treated.
