Flexcom - Pipe Laying

This video illustrates a pipeline installation scenario modelled using Flexcom. This is a complex installation procedure, as the pipeline is laid down over a steep subsea precipice. The winching process is modelled using Flexcom’s winch element feature, which allows paying-out or reeling-in operations to be simulated, while the software also possesses a powerful seabed modelling facility which can handle complex topographies with ease. Although this simulation was performed using Flexcom, Wood Group also offer a dedicated installation software package called PipeLay. PipeLay provides a comprehensive set of technical features which are specifically designed for installation analysis, including rapid generation of fixed and floating stinger profiles, and a range of options for modelling rollerbox support contact.
