Marine Construction Planning,
Analysis and Supervision
 Pipeline
Deployments
Makai
has designed a variety of deep water (2,000' and greater) ocean pipelines
ranging from 12" diameter to 48" diameter. For each of these
pipelines, Makai has developed the deployment methodology and plan as an
integral part of the design. For four of these pipeline projects, Makai has
provided on-site deployment engineering support and guidance to the
contractor.
Mini-OTEC Mooring
Makai
designed, wrote the deployment plan, and provided engineering assistance for the
installation of this unique mooring in 3,000' of water. The mooring for the OTEC
barge was the 24" cold water pipeline, attached to a large gravity anchor
on a 23 degree slope.
 OTEC Cold Water Pipe Construction Demonstration
Makai
designed, wrote the deployment plan and assisted in the training of Hawaiian
Dredging and Construction personnel for this NOAA/DOE sponsored project. The
deployment demonstrated the ability to install large diameter (8') pipelines on
steep, rough terrain without divers. Makai personnel served as project
engineers, technicians and advisor's during the deployment at Keahole Point.
Moorings
and Pipe Deployment
Makai
designed and wrote the at-sea operation plan for installation of a
two-point mooring in 1,300' of water for an 8' x 400' long suspended test
pipeline for Hawaiian Dredging and Construction. In addition, Makai developed
the deployment plan for the installation and recovery of this large pipe.
