CAPABILITY STATEMENT I SERVICES
Design of Subsea Structures
Key assets
The continuing trend towards subsea developments places
ever greater emphasis on the need for cost-effective and
practical subsea structures. These structures must support
and protect critical piping and equipment for the life of the
field, whilst providing easy diver/ROV access for critical
intervention tasks. Reliable performance of these assets is
critical to the success of a development, requiring great care
and attention to detail in design.
Our comprehensive design service covers conceptual,
FEED, preliminary and detailed engineering of subsea
structures, supported by our team of experienced subsea
engineers. We work closely with client, installation contractor
and fabricator throughout the project to ensure suitability of
final design and compressed schedule.
Structure types
Our design team has experience of all types of subsea
structures in deep and shallow water, including manifolds,
templates, SSIV protection, PLEM, subsea distribution
assemblies, wellhead protection, drill centres, dynamic riser
bases, tether clump weights, subsea PLR modules, PLET
and in-line wye/tee assemblies.
Layout
Use of modern 3D CAD tools to define layout of piping,
valves, actuators, flanges, tie-ins and equipment. Size
and weight optimised to suit installation vessel and
fabrication facility. Designs tailored to suit diver or ROV IRM
philosophies (tie-in, valve operation, equipment installation/
retrieval).
Petrofac Don South West and West Don Riser Base Structure
Foundations
Our geotechnical specialists have wide experience in soil
characterisation and subsequent design of piled, gravity
or suction pile foundations. Rigorous seismic analysis and
design can be provided when required. P-Y curve and
limit equilibrium methods are backed up by sophisticated
numerical modelling when appropriate.
Design package preparation
Our design team can provide preliminary, conceptual and
detailed design drawings (2D and 3D), material take-off,
weight take-off, specifications, design reports, procedures,
philosophy documents and studies. Preliminary drawings
and MTO are provided as early as possible to expedite
procurement of long lead items.
Structural analyses
State of the art structural design software is used
to develop efficient structure designs in accordance
with either limit state or permissible stress codes.
Global analysis may cover or involve load-out,
transportation, marine lifting, installation and in-place
analysis including hydrodynamic and earthquake
loading. External loads from dropped object impacts,
trawl snag and pipeline tie-ins can be addressed.
Piping assemblies are designed in conjunction
with adjoining spools and foundations, and can be
combined in the global structural analysis to capture
critical interaction effects. We have experience in the
design of structures, piping, fitting analysis and design
to the range of commonly applied codes and standards.

Installation Engineering
Engineering and support for offshore operations
The installation phase of an offshore project inevitably carries
substantial cost and risk. Successful installation campaigns
require thoroughly engineered offshore operations, with
the utmost attention to detail. KW has a strong record
of working closely with contractors to optimise cost and
quantify risk of offshore operations.
Our specialist engineering skills and broad experience
complement the capabilities of offshore contractors,
enabling fully engineered solutions to be prepared within
fast-track project schedules.
We provide a range of installation engineering solutions
for pipelay, trenching/burial, T&I, survey and rock dump
contractors, including:
• Full rigid and flexible pipelay analysis
(reeling, S-lay, J-lay, bundle tow, shore pulls)
• Riser installation and J-tube pull-in
• Vessel mooring and station keeping
• Trenching and ploughability analysis
• Installation of subsea structures and spools
• Installation of fixed structures
(including float-over analysis)

Survey and Routeing
Critical up-front task
Optimal route selection at the outset of an offshore pipeline
project has the potential to minimise subsequent design
challenges and dramatically reduce construction costs.
The critical importance of routeing decisions is recognised
in our approach, which combines extensive experience with
rapid and effective analysis tools to screen candidate routes.
Whilst these specialist skills are often generally available
to office-based desk studies and detailed engineering, our
ability to perform rapid analysis onboard the offshore survey
vessel is unique within the industry. In many cases we are
able to avoid geohazards, eliminate spanning, and minimise
installation difficulties even before completion of the survey.
Where routeing challenges cannot be resolved offshore, we
ensure that the survey data acquired is adequate for rigorous
assessment during FEED and detailed design.
Crossing existing pipelines and cables (Goliat Development)
Project highlights
Gulf of Aqaba Crossing: Egypt, 2003
The 36" pipeline passes from Taba in Egypt to Aqaba in
Jordan, crossing the 860m deep Gulf of Aqaba: a depth
record for a large diameter pipeline. Both sides of the gulf
are extremely steep, with numerous gullies and unstable
slopes, and delicate corals at the shore approaches. Any
pre- or post-lay intervention would have been very costly,
with no scope for trenching or rock cover. Identifying
a suitable route was particularly challenging, requiring
sophisticated numerical analysis to minimise span lengths
and avoid landslide run-out zones. KW supported the owner,
EGC, at every stage of the project, with routeing specialists
present on all offshore surveys. The final selected route
eliminated all intervention requirements, in spite of extremely
challenging seabed terrain.
Agiba Project: Gulf of Suez, 2005
Offshore and Onshore Support for pipeline routed in shallow
waters with extensive reefs and rocky areas off the east
coast of Egypt. Pipeline route optimised to avoid excessive
spanning, relax installation tolerances, and avoid severe
cross slopes to ensure lateral stability.
Routeing through steep slopes (ENI’s Goliat Development)
North Idku Project: Offshore Egypt, 2006
Pipeline route optimised to avoid reef and pass through
flat seabed to improve trenching conditions. Pipeline route
length minimized. Offshore support was provided to acquire
firsthand data and perform real time route selection. Survey
operations were adjusted in the field to suit selected route.

Upheaval Buckling and
Out-of-straightness Analysis
Out-of-straightness (OOS) analysis is one of KW’s main
strengths that enables the company to remain at the leading
edge of upheaval buckling (UHB) analysis.
Unique analysis package
KW has developed an accurate and consistent OOS analysis
methodology, which is based on the use of the SAGE
Profile FE package combined with the Download Monitoring
System (DMS) to calculate the download requirement to
prevent upheaval buckling in pipelines.
KW assurance
A dedicated, proactive, and responsive engineering team
with extensive experience of advanced structural mechanics
and pipeline engineering can be assigned to respond to the
project’s demands.
KW’s ability to perform the OOS analysis quickly and
thoroughly can be demonstrated by reference to our
track record in this field over the past years. Rock dump
schedules can be provided as swiftly as within 24 hours, if
required, from the receipt of raw OOS survey data.
The KW OOS analysis method is combined with a reliabilitybased approach in order to capture the uncertainty in
design input parameters. ABAQUS non-linear FEA is used
to calibrate the OOS analysis models for HPHT and PIP
applications.
The DMS analysis tool, pioneered and developed by KW
staff, has been used on almost all the pipelines installed in
the North Sea since 1999. The analysis method has been
subject to DnV, Lloyds and Bureau Veritas scrutiny and
verification on several projects.
Download Monitoring System – KW analysis tool
In the past, assessment of the amount of rock cover has
incorporated a large degree of conservatism, resulting in
excessive cost to the installation contractor. Thus, KW’s
main OOS analysis objectives are:
• To provide an adequate level of safety in the operating
pipeline to ensure that upheaval buckling will not occur
during the operating life of the pipeline.
• To minimise the volume of rock required to eliminate
upheaval buckling, commensurate with the requirements
for adequate safety.
KW is a pioneer in this field
and continues to lead the way

A recent requirement in pipeline engineering
The move to deep water and higher temperatures and
pressures in recent years has introduced lateral buckling and
walking as new problems in the pipeline design process.
Where practical and economic considerations prevent
burial of pipelines, the potential to ‘snake’ and ‘walk’ is
often unavoidable. Advanced design and analysis methods,
often coupled with special construction measures, are then
needed to ensure a safe and reliable system containing
‘engineered’ lateral buckles.

High Pressure and
High Temperature Systems
At temperatures above about 120°C several factors become
pertinent which are not significant for pipelines transporting
lower temperature contents. These factors include:
• The effect of elevated temperatures on the mechanical
properties of the pipeline steel, including carbon steel,
corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) and CRA lined carbon
steel pipe.
• Practical problems encountered when designing pipeline
systems that can conform to current codes based on
limiting stress conditions and the relevance of limit state
codes to high temperature pipelines.
• The requirement to adopt a strain-based design
methodology. The adjective ‘strain-based’ is used here
to describe pipelines where the traditional limit on the
equivalent stress in the pipeline is replaced by a limit on
the strain experienced by the material.
These factors must be resolved in order to ensure that HPHT
pipelines can be operated with suitable levels of safety.

Research and Development
KW’s success is assured by its ability to provide engineering
solutions to projects which are technically challenging
and situated in regions that are renowned for being
environmentally challenging. These include deep water,
highly undulating seabeds, very soft soils and seismically
active areas, as well as reservoirs which are high pressure
and high temperature.
These factors alone, or in combination, require KW to stretch
and often work beyond the limits of existing engineering
methods, codes and technologies. In order to achieve this
capability we supplement our experience and knowledge
with specific research and development projects, both
internally and externally.
As an example we currently have a number of internal
development projects, examining areas such as assessment
methods for induction bends and new methods for
assessment of upheaval buckling of rigid pipelines. We are
also in the process of developing a JIP aimed at assessing
the behaviour of flexible pipelines during operation under
varying temperatures and pressures.
KW has developed a close relationship with Cambridge
University where one of the benefits is access to their high
tech laboratory facilities. The following projects are ongoing:
• Uplift Resistance of Buried Pipelines
This three year project is investigating some of the
complex issues of pipe/soil interaction behaviour
with regard to uplift resistance, such as mobilisation
displacement and soil ratcheting.
• Cyclic Behaviour of Monopile Foundations for
Offshore Wind Farms
This three year project is aimed at understanding the
long-term behaviour of large diameter monopiles subject
to axial and cyclic lateral loading. KW is collaborating with
Cambridge University, together with Dong Energy and
Renewable Energy Systems. The project is funded by
EPSRC.
KW is also collaborating with the University of Dundee and
co-supervising research focussed on pipe/soil axial friction
formulation for granular materials. This entails carrying
out experimental investigations to understand the axial
resistance of buried pipelines in sand.
