Description
On-bottom stability design for shallow water cables and pipeline sections has primarily been performed adopting analytical methods or 1D and 2D computer tools that does not correctly account for effects such as tension developments, free spans, open trenches, seabed features or curved sections along the route. These effects have been studied and addressed in the recent DROPS JIP Phases I and II where the results were implemented into the already broad capabilities of SINTEF's SIMLA pipeline computer tool.
This paper discusses the new on-bottom stability capabilities of the SIMLA DROPS tool and the application of the tool to recent project work and the potential for optimisation it can give.
