• USBL tracking and telemetry systems.• Acoustic Beacons.• Beacons for tracking and release.• Sensor telemetry.• Shallow water USBL.• Beacons with compatible protocols.

Overview

EasytrakPrincipal of operationHow it works!

• USBL transmits a signal.• Beacon receives a signal.• After a fixed time, beacon

transmits back.• Travel time is used to calculate

distance.• In addition – array is used to

determine direction of arrival.

Areas of ExpertiseOur technical expertise in subsea protection systems can be applied across the oil and gasindustry, renewable energy, marine civils and coastal defence .The shallow nature of most offshore renewable energy projects provides many challengesto ensure stabilisation systems perform to overcome issues such as high on-bottom wavevelocities, scour and dropped object protection. We can provide the most suitable solutionswhatever the conditions.

Examples of the major projects Pipeshield has supplied in this field include:

Wind Farm photos courtesy of Centrica

• Scroby Sands - 30 turbines, water depth 13-22m - Fronded Blankets • Egmund aan Zee Wind Park - 36 turbines, depth 18-20m - Fronded

Blankets• Lynn & Inner Dowsing, 54 turbines water depth 18m - Heavy Density

Blankets• Thanet Wind Farm - 100 turbines water depth 20-25m - Blankets and

Cable Installation aids• St Ives Wave Hub - Cable Stabilisation water depth 10-52m - Heavy

density Blankets• Lincs (Centrica) Offshore Wind Farm - 75 turbines - Assessment of

scour potential and Supply of Annular Mattresses around the selected monopoles.

• Bespoke design for multi mat lift to place scour skirt in one lift over the monopole

• Westermont Rough – concrete mattresses – currently in excess of 400• Gwynt y Môr– mattresses for cable protection

Scour Studies

Photos from a one year trial by Shell in the southern North Sea showing the formation of a sediment bank over a Frond System (photos supplied by Shell).

At the previously scoured pipeline a fully developed and compacted sediment bank has been formed over the buoyant fronds and marine life has colonised the final bank.

Pipeshield Bi-Flex mattresses with buoyant fibrillated polypropylene fronds (SSCS supplied) are proven in a full range of scour sensitive environments. Typically fronds are 1.25m high and provide the capability of sediment banks over 900mm high in 35 -60 days in good conditions.

Case StudyClient - ShellProject – Southern North Sea ProjectTitle – Fronded Mattress Trials

The photographs below show the fronds activating and a build up of a fibre reinforced sediment back beyond the mattress edge. After one year, colonised marine life was noted.

Rock Mattresses

We offer both bespoke or standard fabric formworks well suited forvarious applications including pipeline support, foundation seals,void filling etc.

Our standard formworks are available in various heights and basedimensions to suit pipelines up to 1150mm diameter.

Our formworks are fabricated in the UK to maintain strict QHSEprocesses.

Fabric Formworks

Our formworks are both diver and ROV friendly and can be used for pipeline free-span correction.

Scour Preventionfor the Lincs Offshore Wind Farm

Mattress installation frame during loadout

Pipeshield® are the providers of scour prevention for the turbine monopiles on the Lincs OWF. The work involvedthe identification of the monopiles affected by scour using CFD modeling, design and manufacture of a liftingframe and the design and manufacture of concrete mattresses. The Installation frame is hydraulically activatedand allows the accurate installation of scour protection in a single lift.
