EMAS Talk PipelinesMay14 Slides

This document discusses submarine pipeline installation methods. It provides an overview of conventional techniques like S-lay, J-lay, and reel lay which lower the pipeline from a lay barge. Unconventional methods described include surface tow, bottom tow, bottom pull, push-pull for shore approaches, control depth tow, and horizontal directional drilling. Examples are given of projects using the push-pull and bottom pull techniques to install pipelines from shore to shore.
