Anchors Aweigh―New Methods for Installing Synthetic Underwater Pipelines: Part 1

摘要

Many pipelines installed underwater are manufactured from synthetic materials such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) because of the superior corrosion resistance and, in certain applications, the superior wear resistance of synthetics over iron alloys. Synthetic pipelines are used in many tasks for both industrial and municipal applications. As the depths of the installations and the lengths of the synthetic pipelines are increasing, better methods of installations must be developed.
