It is a J-Laying rule, meaning that pipes are suspended from the tower before being lowered in a “J” cut into the sea, to a depth of several miles. The power of pipe that can be hung off the tower is equipollent to suspending 266 double-decker buses.

IHC Engineering Business, part of the Dutch sea-piece group IHC Merwede, will begin work on a second machine commission for another client.
