Complete J-Lay System Supply08/10/2007 |
| The Engineering Business (EB) has secured its largest-ever contract to supply a complete new J-Lay system for the Saipem FDS (field development ship). The J-Lay system is being designed for the installation of pipelines in deepwater, and with a maximum dynamic line tension of 1500 tonnes, it will be one of the world's largest J-Lay towers. |

EB is responsible for the design, manufacture, assembly, testing and delivery of the tower. The build will take place on Tyneside and Teesside and, following pre-delivery testing, it will be loaded onto a barge and shipped to Rotterdam where it will be commissioned onto the FDS.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
