Subsea Pipeline Engineering

by Andrew C. Palmer
and Roger A. King

Features:

• Contains valuable information from course on same subject given by Clarion

• First text covering subsea pipeline operation in-depth

• Learn to effectively lay pipeline at great sea depths

Authored by two of the world's most respected authorities in subsea pipeline engineering, this definitive reference book covers the entire spectrum of subjects in the discipline, from route selection and planning to design, construction, installation, materials and corrosion, inspection, welding, repair, risk assessment, and applicable design codes and standards.

Particular attention is also devoted to the important specialized subjects of hydraulics, strength, stability, fracture, and buckling.

Subsea Pipeline Engineering is distilled from the authors' vast experience in industry and their world-renowned course on Marine Pipeline Engineering.
