towline

CBI towlines failed when their dual towed, significantly overloaded gliders surged simultaneously during descent over mountains.

Pull them up and lower them down on a towline, attach them to your tool belt, or have them handed up to you.

The real concern regarding these towlines in the molded parts is that they are very miniscule and difficult to detect.

Subassembly towlines can feed into a main towline conveyor that can handle up to 100,000 pounds.

The project involved fabrication and installation of two 80-inch towlines totaling 36 miles for Marathon's Droshky field development.

NPCC will perform the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the pipeline as well as production well tie-ins and towlines that will connect the field to four new production facilities.

In fact, computer simulation showed the AGVs to be superior to towlines and conveyors, notes LaPole.

The contract covers pigging of production, water and gas injection towlines; hydrostatic testing of the towlines, riser and jumpers; and dewatefing of the gas-injection system.

Based on the computer model and his own experience with towlines and conveyors for assembly, LaPole believes AGVs offer definite advantages for Deere in Augusta.

The scope of supply is relevant to 120 wells and also covered is the hook-up of 80 of the 137 total wells and towlines for the full field development from contract award until six months after early oil.

Cost effectiveness of the towlines was also a key concern, he adds.

The contract includes fabrication and installation of two 8-inch towlines totalling 58 km at the Droshky field development which is located 180 km south of Houma, LA in water depths ranging from 1,350-3,000 feet in Green Canyon block 244.

Capable of operating in water depths of up to 2,000 m, she has pipelay capabilities for installing both rigid and flexible towlines and umbilicals, with one deck-mounted storage and deployment reel with capacity for pipe diameters of up to 16 inches, and a total weight of 2,200 tons.

The contract includes the installation of subsea manifolds, valve structures, umbilicals, a mono-ethylene glycol injection line and pipeline stabilization as well as the tie-in of towlines in water depths of up to 2,790 feet.

Among in-floor conveyors, the most common type is the towline. In this design, a chain in the factory floor is used to pull individual carts through the work area.
