6.2.2 Lowering and Laying of Pipeline


Pipeline sections will be lowered using Side booms and use of excavator as back up for lowering in
with the use of wide non-abrasive slings or lowering belts for pipe size 4” to 8” and non-abrasive roller
belts or roller cradles or choker belts for pipe size 16” to 20”.

Lowering will be carried out by SICIM with the use of side booms and use of excavator as back up for
lowering in. SICIM will ensure that the pipe is not over stressed during lowering operations by limiting
side boom spacing to less than or equal to that specified in the Pipeline Lifting Plan, see Appendix 3
(A) and Pipeline Lowering in Plan, see Appendix 3 (B). To determine the pipeline section load is
sufficient to withstand side booms to be used, see Appendix 4: Pipeline Lift Calculation and Appendix
5: Pipeline Lowering - In Calculation.

Side booms and excavator as back up for lowering in and lifting aids and lifting rigs will be inspected
prior to lowering in of pipeline. Wide non-abrasive slings / belts will be used for pipe sizes 4” to 8” and
roller cradles or non-abrasive rubber rollers or choker belts will be used for pipe sizes 16” to 20” in all
lowering operations and care will be taken when removing the slings from around the coated pipe after
it has been lowered into the trench.

SICIM will check that no pipe will be lowered into the trench until it has been inspected, prepared, and
approved for receipt of pipe in accordance with requirements of Company ITP.

SICIM will check pipe is in center of trench and conforms to all side bend, over bend and sag bend
without adding any external stress to the pipe.

SICIM Rigging supervisor or foreman will monitor the lowering activities to ensure that pipe is centrally
placed inside the trench and the pipe is being lifted uniformly off its skids avoiding pipe jarring on the
trench wall that may result in trench wall collapse.
6.2.2.1 Shorter Length Pipeline Sections

16” (406.4 mm) 25 m

18” (457 mm) 25 m

20” (508 mm) 25 m

For the parts of pipe strings that have short length will be lowered into the trench gradually and
uniformly, see Appendix 3 (A).

Use of Side Booms will be of sufficient number and capacity and will be placed at appropriate intervals,
to prevent drooping, sliding, overturning, or buckling of the pipe string.

Use of excavator for lowering in (to be use as back up). Pipe string will not be dragged, dropped, or
subjected to jarring or impact.

When the pipe string is lowered, it shall conform to the trench bottom without the use of external force
to hold it in place.

Trench bottom will be properly bedded and compacted to support the pipe uniformly.

All voids under the pipe shall be carefully filled approved bedding material.

Sequences of pipeline lowering are as follows:

1. Place the Side Boom at a distance as shown in Appendix 5: Pipeline Lowering-In Calculations
at 6 m overhang on both ends.

2. Lift the pipeline section to a height of 0.50 meter from bottom of pipe (BOP) to ground.

3. Move the pipeline section towards the trench axis by lowering the boom and lower the pipeline
section, after the pipeline section reached the center line of the trench.

4. Remove the load and lowering sling after entire pipeline section length is rested on the bed.

5. Lowered pipeline will have a clearance of 200 mm on either side of the trench.
6.2.2.2 Longer Length Pipeline Sections
Table 5: Maximum Side Boom Distance

Pipe Diameter (inch / mm) Maximum Distance of Side Boom (m)

6” (168.3 mm) 10 m

8” (219.1mm) 10 m

16” (406.4 mm) 25 m

18” (457 mm) 25 m

20” (508 mm) 25 m

When lowering-in long pipe strings, Side Booms shall advance along the trench, always leaving
enough equipment holding the pipe to prevent it from sliding against the trench wall, overturning, or
buckling, see Appendix 3 (B).
Sequence of pipeline lowering are as follows:
1. Maximum length of pipe section will be 800 meters to 1000 meters, Side Booms with 60 Tons
capacity will be used for this operation.
2. 3 to 4 nos. of Side Booms will be placed at a radius of 1.50 m and at a distance as shown in
Appendix 5: Pipeline Lowering-In Calculations and install wide non-abrasive slings or lowering
belts will be used for pipe sizes 4” to 8” while non-abrasive roller belts or roller cradles or
choker belts will be used for pipe sizes 16” to 20”.
3. All lifting and lowering activities will be controlled by a competent SICIM rigging supervisor /
foreman. SICIM rigging supervisor / foreman deployed for this operation will command and
control activities by standard rigging hand signals, directions to the side boom/crane operators.
Maneuvering must be done in a manner to ensure that the pipe is centrally placed in the trench
and that the pipe is being lifted uniformly off its skids. Simultaneously lift the pipeline section
with all side booms to height of 0.50 meter from bottom of pipe (BOP) to ground. Lifting of
each side boom will be controlled by SICIM Rigging supervisor / foreman maintaining a gentle
and smooth “S” curve.
4. Pipe section will be positioned into the trench until free end of pipe section is approximately
situated over the center of the trench. Section will then be gradually lowered until the pipe
touches the bedding material. Move the pipeline towards trench axis by lowering the boom
and simultaneously lowering the pipe into the trench. Care shall be taken so that side boom
moves towards the trench axis and lower the pipe section in the trench.
5. After the first section of 10 m to 15 m lowered and rested on the trench, Side boom 4 releases
the load on pipe while Side booms 1, 2 and 3 are still engaged to hold the pipe load. Side
boom 4 advances until near Side boom 3, sliding its belt along pipe after this section has been
lowered into trench. After Side boom 4 provides to lift the pipe while Side boom 3 leaves the
load and advances to Side boom 2, making the same operation of Side boom 4. Load on Side
booms will be released only after ensuring that hoist break of balance Side booms are
engaged to hold the pipe load. (For example, load on Side Boom 1 will be released only after
ensuring that hoist break of Side Booms 2, 3 and 4 are engaged). Please NOTE that this
action is not required when using roller cradles for lowering - in.
6. After ensuring the hold-lift of all Side booms, Side boom 2 repeats itself identical actions and
for the last Side boom 1 advances forward to create original smooth “S” curve. All Side booms
continue this detailed sequence until completion of the entire length. Please NOTE that this
action is not required when using roller cradles for lowering - in.
7. All lifting and descending activities will be carried out by a trained rigging team under the
supervision of competent personnel.
8. When lowered, pipeline shall have a clearance of 200 mm on either side of the trench.
9. All equipment used for lifting and handling the pipeline and its components shall be tested,
inspected, and certified by approved authority.

Appendix 5: Pipeline Lowering - In Calculation

General Consideration:

Bent pipes should always be treated with high care during lowering. Initially, bent pipes are already
stressed by cold bending process. Additional stresses due to lifting and lowering may or may not
exceed its allowable yield strength. But it is correct to assume 30.50% of yield strength for over-bend
pipes. The bottom side of the over-bend pipe is initially compressed. Possibilities of tensile action at
the bottom side during lowering may occur. Bausch Inger effect will be experienced by the pipe. It is
normally associated with conditions where the yield strength of a metal decreases when the direction
of strain is changed. It is evident of change direction of strain on over-bend pipes when lowering it.
Thus, cold compressed section will be tensed. For sag-bend pipes, it is also evident that when lowering
it, cold tensed side of the pipe will be more tensed. It is why the allowable stress is assumed not to
exceed 50% of the yield strength. It is acceptable and more conservative to apply 50% of yield strength.
In AISC, allowable stress is 60% of yield strength, which means yield strength (Fy) is divided by

1.67(), Fy / 1.67 = 0.6Fy. In SNiP 2.01.07-85 (Load and Effects), limits of vertical deflection can be
obtained from Table 19. Lowering pipes will be treated as moved structural elements and will have a
deflection limit of L/350. But this calculation considers L/500 by considering other unforeseen load
effects.
