How do we build the pipeline

Some time ago, I took part in the construction of the Dzhubga - Lazarevskoye - Sochi. He worked on the pipe-laying barge.

I decided to post some photos and videos.





The process begins with the fact that the pipe is brought on special barges and unloaded and stored on our ship.



This accommodation



Here on this basket overload people with the passenger boat to the barge, for no ladders are not provided, and it is not possible to provide for them - the height of the barge is much larger than that of a passenger ship.

That's how it happens





This cabin. Quadruple. Two people on shift (12 hours) - and in the meantime, two other travelers.



Is a plan view from the top deck.



Next to the pipe-laying barge are always several escort ships.



It tensioners (Tensioners) - between clamped pipe ready, they slowly cool and pipe crawls behind the barge and slowly falls to the bottom. The ship slowly moved forward. His engine it does not have, and he moves on a complex system of anchors (anchors 8) - at the same time what is pulling and the other at this time letting go. Therefore, escorts should always anchor the new space to carry.
P.S. Not enough eloquence that I would explain it :-(



The work has been very close to the shore, vacationers swim close close to us - they are interested in what is happening. And we want them ...



The food is very good (Romanian barge and all staff serving Romanians)



We check the junction with automatic ultrasound equipment.



At the last joint of all put their autographs.



The diameter of the pipe can be different. For comparison photos we pulled the pipe at the bottom of the Kara Sea.



And finally to put the video - it certainly does not reflect the process, but it reflects the spirit of the work - it was very interesting and fun.
