Development of systems to effect subsea pipeline tie-ins and/or repairs to pipeline sections is discussed. It is noted that Cameron Iron Works Ball and Valve Division developed over eight years ago a special subsea pipeline tie-in system which is unique in its compensation for misalignment and sealing characteristics and which has an excellent record for trouble-free operation in the field. Vickers Offshore Ltd. has perfected an explosive welding technique for connecting sections of pipeline underwater. Used together, the two systems are seen to be the most comprehensive, efficient and economical means of joining or repairing subsea pipeline sections. Methods of misalignment compensation are discussed along with gaskets, adaptations, and operational sequence. (JRD)
