Abstract
Providing effective protection for oil and gas pipelines is proving to be a difficult and expensive business, particularly in heavily used and environmentally sensitive waters such as the North Sea. The Danish Company Seditech has produced a design for ''hinged'' pipeline covers in concrete which are claimed to offer an effective solution to the problem. Model tests are currently (end of August 1977) being carried out at Trondheim, Norway, and this will be followed by a six-month feasibility study into the design of a suitable underwater installation vehicle. The aim is to produce total costs of the same order as pipe burial. The first step towards this has been achieved, as another Danish company has developed a combined vibration/pressure moulding system which allows individual cover elements to be produced in 3 to 5 min.
