With five possible flow regimes to choose from for slurry transport, selecting just one can require consideration. Fortunately, one of these regimes has a simple criterion: a ratio of the particle diameter to the pipe diameter.

Formulated by employees of Jan De Nul Group, the solution which won the Safety Award 2017 upgraded each facet of the pipeline transportation process, including from the activities performed in storage facilities as well as while travelling to faraway project locations.

To meet the growing energy requirements of the United Kingdom, a decision was made to lay a new offshore pipeline from Norway's gas-rich fields to the eastern coast of the UK.

The increasing population in the Montpellier, France environment required a new waste water treatment plan. Studies indicated that for maximum safety the sea outfall should be placed 11 km off the coast - an enormous length to lay an outfall pipe.

The diameter of a slurry pipeline is an important factor in a design and an operation of a pipeline and pump system connected with a dredger. However, the effect of pipe diameter on the slurry flow behaviour (frictional head losses, specific energy consumption, deposition limit velocity) is not

Norwegian gas from the Ekofisk Field lands at Delfzijl, in the north of The Netherlands. The Eems crossing links Phillips Petroleum's gas cleaning and drying plant at Rysumer Nacken, on the German bank, to Delfzijl and the Dutch national gas grid.

Slurry transport is used in dredging and mining to transport solid/liquid mixtures over a long distance and very frequently multiple pumps are utilised.

A trailing suction hopper dredger equipped with a deep-dredging installation proved to be extremely versatile and saved the pipelaying project from large delays.

A 42" diameter, 835 km-long, high pressure natural gas pipeline was laid from Norway to France in record time and under budget.

The 1998 IADC Award-winning paper, presented at the WODCON XV in Las Vegas, explains an efficient new technique being utilised in Japan.

Unable to excavate a conventional open trench because of dumping limitations, a new technique was developed to install the pipeline through “diluted” soil.

Prediction of the aggregation process and an accurate estimate of the critical velocity in a pipeline may lead to more effective control of the diesel engines and other types of drives.

To satisfy EC bathing water quality directives, a new, longer outfall was needed. Dredgers had to reckon with the recreational importance of Spain’s beaches, plus the existence of an operative gas pipeline.

During a ceremony at the IADC Annual General Meeting in New Delhi, IADC President Frank Verhoeven announced the Safety Award 2019 winner: Boskalis with its Floating Line Connecting System.

A joint venture between IADC and CIRIA, the publication A guide to cost standards for dredging equipment 2009 offers a benchmark to establish the capital and related costs of various types of dredging plant and equipment commonly in use within the industry.
