Abstract: A method of installing an In-Line Structure (ILS) to a flooding fluid-filled pipeline extending from a reel, over an aligner, and through a lay-tower during offshore reeling, the pipeline having an oblique part from the reel to the aligner, and a vertical part from the aligner through the lay-tower, including the steps of: (a) draining the flooding fluid from the vertical part of the pipeline to create a drained portion of the vertical part of the pipeline up to and around the aligner; (b) cutting the pipeline at or near the draining of step (a) to create upper and lower open ends of the pipeline; (c) installing a pig into the upper open end; (d) moving the pig through the pipeline to reach a flooding fluid-filled part of the pipeline; (e) adding flooding fluid into the flooding fluid-filled part of the pipeline to reverse the movement of the pig in step (d) and to wholly or substantially refill the drained portion of the pipeline; and (f) installing the In-Line Structure (ILS) to at least the upper open end of the pipeline.

Abstract: This flexible fluid transport pipe includes an inner polymer sheath defining a fluid circulation passage with a central axis; at least one armor layer positioned outside the inner sheath; an inner carcass, positioned in the inner sheath, the inner carcass comprising a first bent tape defining a helical interstice emerging toward the central axis. The pipe includes a helical insert with a T-shaped cross-section comprising a rod inserted in the helical interstice and two wings protruding on either side of the rod to inwardly close off the helical interstice. The helical insert is formed from a second bent tape.

Abstract: This endpiece includes at least one end segment of each armor element, an end vault and a cover, the end vault and the cover delimiting between them a chamber for receiving the end segment and a material for filling the receiving chamber, in which the end segment is embedded. The endpiece includes a spacing member positioned so as to internally bear upon the end segments of the armor elements of at least one armor layer. This spacing member defining, on at least one end segment of a armor element of said armor layer, contact areas axially spaced apart along said end segment, the contact areas delimiting between intermediate contact spaces between the filling material and the end segment.

Abstract: A device includes an upstream section defining a water introduction inlet; an injector for injecting a process fluid into the water introduced into the upstream section; an intermediate section mounted downstream of the injector for receiving the water containing the process fluid; a downstream section for conveying water to the fluid transport pipe being laid. The device also includes a liquid volume compensation reservoir, having a variable receiving volume of water discharged from the fluid transport pipe, a connector to which are connected the intermediate section, the downstream section and the liquid volume compensation reservoir, wherein the inlet cross-section of the compensation reservoir is greater than 40 times the internal cross-section of the intermediate section taken at the connector. This device operates reliably even when the stretch of water is rough.
