SMARTLAY™ System
By preventing pipeline flooding as a result of wet buckle during offshore pipe lay operations, the SmartLay™ system mitigates risk to the pipe lay vessel and crew, and also protects as-laid pipeline and helps eliminate costs associated with standby dewatering spreads.
The SmartLay tool and operational processes rely on field-tested, DNV GL-approved SmartPlug® isolation technology.
Specifications
- Usable for all typical deep water pipelays
Key Features
- Can be used in either shallow or deep waters
- Plug module activates rapidly, typically in less than one second, when saltwater or pressure are detected
- Customizable to meet project requirements. Up to three tools can be deployed at any position in the pipeline at any one time
- Operates automatically and independently of lay vessel
- Interfaces with client-supplied towing and communication arrangements
- Functions with either a cable/umbilical or a remotely operated pulling device
- Can be set and unset multiple times without recovering the equipment to the surface
- Communicates and allows remote monitoring of operational conditions through the use of an umbilical or a SmartTrack™ system transceiver
- Easy to operate directly from an onboard laptop operated through a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Common Applications
- Supporting offshore pipe laying operations
