A New Process for the Tubular Shipload

Abstract:

At present, the jacket piles are lifting onto the barge by crawler crane or floating crane in domestic and overseas in traditionally methods. The piles are too heavy (normally 400t-700t each) and long (normally more than 100m long), large crawler cranes or floating cranes are usually be used in lifting. As all know, the unit price of floating cranes are expensive and much area are needed for the crawler cranes. In order to solve these problems, based on the characteristic of the piles rolling in the circumferential direction, this paper introduced a new process for the jacket piles rolling onto the barge. A suite of project auxiliary structures need to be designed to complete the whole process. The designing process for the project auxiliary structures is introduced in this paper.
