Pipeline Burial Modules

Calculate soil and pipe cover weight and uplift resistance for buried pipelines.

The cover weight can be calculated for either cohesive and non cohesive soils. The uplift resistance includes the weight of the pipe (either dry or submnerged and full or empty). For dry pipelines use the specific weight of dry soil. For wet pipelines use the specific weight of wet soil.

Calculate subsea pipeline minimum lay radius from soil friction and lay tension.

The lay radius is limited by the lateral friction resistance at the pipeline laydown point.

Calculate DNVGL RP-F109 piping and pipeline self burial in non cohesive soils.

Piping occurs with mobile, non cohesive sandy seabeds due to the flow around and underneath the pipe. Self burial is self limiting as the flow reduces with burial depth. The equilibrium burial depth is calculated. The Shields number can be used to check the onset of seabed instability. Self burial is a gradual process which occurs over a period of time. Self burial should be calculated using a sea state significantly smaller than the maximum design sea state.
