    Abstract: A method for producing a steel underwater pipe for carrying a corrosive fluid, includes the successive steps: applying a layer of corrosion-resistant steel alloy on a terminal part of the internal wall of each pipe element from its end to be welded; the application of a plastic coating, on the internal wall of each pipe element; covering only a first part of the layer of metal alloy, a terminal part of the layer of metal ally on the side of the end to be welded of each pipe element not being covered by the plastic coating; the coaxial insertion and the crimping of a compression ring against the terminal part of the plastic coating; and the assembly by welding directly together the ends of two pipe elements by a corrosion-resistant steel alloy weld.

    Abstract: A method for assembling pipe-in-pipe pipeline elements for transporting fluids, with each pipeline element comprising an inner pipe including a bulge at one end, and an outer pipe including a recess at one end. The method comprises the successive steps: inserting a first locking wedge axially abutting the bulge of its inner pipe and a corresponding end of its outer pipe, butt-assembling the inner pipe of a new pipeline element on the inner pipe of the pipeline, positioning the outer pipe of the new pipeline element alongside the outer pipe of the pipeline, and butt-assembling the outer pipe of the new pipeline element on the outer pipe of the pipeline by inserting a second locking wedge axially abutting against the bulge of the inner pipe of the pipeline at its free end and the recess of the outer pipe at a corresponding end thereof.

    Abstract: A device for installing and handling a module of a subsea processing station, comprises a frame, and a hydraulic system comprising hydraulic cylinders each comprising a cylinder body, and a piston intended to be put into contact with a foot and movable inside the cylinder body between a first mechanical abutment corresponding to a deployed position of the piston and a second mechanical abutment corresponding to a retracted position of the piston. The piston divides the internal volume of the cylinder body into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber is supplied with hydraulic fluid by two independent hydraulic circuits comprising a shock-absorbing circuit able to move the piston between the deployed and intermediate positions located between the deployed position and the retracted position defined by a hydraulic abutment, and a controlled-lowering circuit able to move the piston between the intermediate position and its retracted position.
