Adjustable Pipe Support
The Adjustable Pipe Support (APS) is designed to support and elevate pipes or pipelines on the seabed, ensuring proper alignment and load management during installation and operation. The unit can be installed directly on the seabed, typically with a mudmat for stability, or mounted on a subsea structure as part of an integrated system.
The APS can accommodate multiple pipe sizes and can be configured to elevate the pipeline to the required height. Depending on project requirements, it can also be designed with lateral adjustment capability, allowing the pipeline to be positioned sideways for improved alignment with connected equipment.
The system is mechanically adjustable with the assistance of an ROV, enabling precise positioning without the need for complex subsea intervention. For integrated solutions, the APS can also be delivered together with the Open Porch system, mounted on a PLET or skid.
To further improve operational performance, the APS can be equipped with a spring mechanism that helps absorb peak loads during installation and operation, reducing stresses on the pipeline and connected structures. This ensures a controlled load transfer and contributes to safe and reliable subsea operations.
