1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
Fall 2006, the DLB Acergy Polaris replaced its old J-Lay tower with a new upgraded
version able to accommodate higher top tensions and lay larger diameter pipe. This
new J-lay tower took the place of the current J-lay tower.
This new J-Lay system was designed and built in Rotterdam, Holland by a combined
team from Acergy and “Huisman Itrec”. In conjunction with the tower a new pipe-
loading escalator were required to complete the J-Lay system. The completed pipe
escalator system (PES) was designed and built in UK by “The Engineering Business
Ldt”.
The main differences are in :

- the loads implied by the new J-lay tower. Indeed, this new pipe-laying asset
weights approximately 3000t whereas the current system weights around
1000t. It is approximately 2000t to be added to the installation vessel at mid-
ship starboard. Moreover the pipe-laying capacity means the weight of the pipe
catenary, the J-lay tower is capable of holding, is 750t static with the new J-lay
tower. These 750t are to be compared to the 380t pipe-laying capacity of the
current system.
- the electrical power requirement. While the old system was mainly of hydraulic
type, requiring power for its HPU, the new system is electrical and requires
power from the barge switchboards for all components : mainly winches and
pumps.
Furthermore, an active gimballing system has been designed for the tower,
ensuring more flexibility to the tower regarding the barge movements. This
gimballing system is hydraulic and requires more pumps when applied.

2.2 J-LAY SYSTEM OPERATING MODES

This analysis is gathering data for the most consuming operating modes :
- Normal pipe lay : DJ hoisted with drawworks

- Normal pipe lay : Catenary hoisted with drawworks
- Welding and coating
- A&R operation : Abandonment with A&R winch
- A&R operation : Recovery with A&R winch

- Possibly power consumption of the barge could be temporary readjusted during

active gimballing use (Electrical thrusters, ROVs,…).
