 S-mode PLET Designing for installation

Design of the PLET such that it can be transported

through the firing line and over the stinger.
PLET dimensions/smooth surface bottom side PLET.
Verticality of the PLET while on the stinger and in sagbend.
Hingable yoke system.
Avoid high rollerbox loads.
Moderate PLET stiffness.

Remark

Trolley is used to transport structure from Special Purpose Crane
into the vessel to the beadstall area.
Beadstall cranes are used to lift the structure from the trolley
into the line-up station in the firing line. The two cranes are
spaced at a minimum distance of 6.5 m (to be confirmed when
as built) and are synchronised. The COG of the structure must be
as such that none of the two crane loads exceeds 30 t (including
dynamic effects).
Maximum individual rollerbox load is 100 t. The applied rollerbox
load during installation is primarily a function of structure weight,
structure shape (offset from pipe centreline), structure stiffness,
lay tension and stinger radius.
