Pipe line installation
• Introduction;
• *J-LAY method
• *REEL-LAY method
• *INSTALLATION BY TOWING
S-LAY METHOD
• For S-lay installation, the pipe is laid from a near-
horizontal position using combination of horizontal
tensioner and as tingercontrolling the curvature at
over-bend.
• The lay-vessel can be a ship, barge or a
semisubmersible vessel.
• The required lay tension is to be determined based on
the water depth ,the submerged weight of the
pipeline, the allowable radius Of curvature at over-
bend, departure angle and the allowable curvature at
the sag-bend.
• The stinger limitations for minimum and maximum
radius of Curvature and the pipeline departure angle
are to be satisfied.

S –LAY PIPELINE VESSEL
J-LAY METHOD
• For J-Lay (near- vertical pipe-lay), the pipe is laid from
an elevated Tower on a lay vessel using longitudinal
tensioner. In this way, over- bend at These a surface Is
avoided. In general, J-Lay follows the same procedure as
S-Lay
• The j-lay methods puts less stress on the pipe line because
the pipe line is installed in an almost vertical position.
• Where as the s-lay method puts on more stress due to two
curvatures at the sag bend and over bend region.
• The pipe line is sent into water at a small angle reference
to a vertical line and continue at a steep angle until a sag
bend is formed.
J-LAY PIPELINE VESSEL
REEL LAY INSTALLATION
• For reel lay ,the pipe is spooled onto a large radius
reel aboard a reel Lay vessel. The reel-off at location
will normally occur under tension and Involve pipe
straightening through reverse bending on the lay
vessel.
