Mining Exploration Technology : Pipelay design permits 120 to 180 degrees

The J-Flex non-articulated fixed tower flexes pipe to match the angle of incidence. The interior of this large fixed tower is built to flex pipe to accommodate 120 to 180 degrees of gimballing. While not perceived as an advantage for early pipelay systems, this revolutionary design enables a vessel to lay pipelines in rougher seas [...]
