with diffuser section.
Supplied in 560 mm OD SDR9 High Density Polyethylene
Pipe Work.The pipeline was constructed using a butt-fusion welding procedure
for each joint and was hydraulically tested to prove the integrity of the system on completion.
Main parameters:
- Overall Length - 3 kilometers.
- 750 meters outfall section was buried into the seabed until a depth of
17 meters, with a minimum cover of 1,3 meters.
- 2300 meters were laid directly onto the seabed.
- Maximal installation depth (position of the diffuser) – 280 meters.
- Specially designed concrete weights were installed every 6 meters along
the length of the pipeline, which guarantee the stability of the pipeline
even if the pipe, at it final working position, is filled with air.
