The pipeline spear was
designed to recover the cut end of a steel pipeline from the ocean floor. It is
guided into the end of the pipeline by an ROV, and then the ROV actuates the
slips by moving the u-shaped handle down.
At that time a cable
attached to the padeye on the rear (left hand side of the picture) recovers the
pipeline. Units can be made in any size to fit your pipeline.
Design Features:
-
Ability for an ROV to
remotely engage into the end of a pipeline
-
ROV capability to
move the operating handle down to allow the slips to set
-
Protective case to
prevent premature release of the slips
-
ROV capability to
lift the operating handle to release the slips
Integration
of a sealing element into the nose portion to allow the end of the pipeline
being recovered to be sealed
