Hi everybody,
Does anyone know how to calculate the traction force required for the traction machine onboard a pipelay barge based on the weight lenght and dimeter of the pipes and how to calculate the ground traction. I heard about special specific gravity but I dont have clear idea on how to...
Greg,
thank you for your help. this is not parallel with the shore it goes from the shallow water to a deeper water thats why I think a self propelled very low draft barge will be the best option. Please let me know what you think and correct me if I am wrong.
thank you very much
Iuston,
thank you for the valuable information. Do you know if the Saipem castoro 12 is a self propelled or not cause I dont see any indication in the website and it is kind of hard to tow such a big vessel in shallow water. do you know any other company or shallow water lay barges.
thank you...
Does anybody have any information about any desiged or constructed pipelay barge for shallow water applications (1.5-3m draft) and what kind of propulsion system used.
thank you
