Although LB Arwana Satu specialty is in shallow water pipe laying, she can be tailored and modified to perform beyond her current constraint.

Methodology - Articulated Stinger

Instead of using the standard outrigger stinger, an articulated stinger one will be fabricated in order to improve her capability to operate at deeper water depth.

From the engineering calculation, the improved water depth limits could be tabulated as below:

Methodology - Hybrid Rentis / Tow Method

Instead of using the standard outrigger stinger, articulated stinger; engineering breakthrough such as tow method and hybrid rentis methodology in order to improve her capability to operate at deeper water depth.

From the engineering calculation, the improved constraint could be tabulated as below:

Pipelay work could also be done using surface tow method which eliminate the constraint of water depth, and hence capable of laying pipeline of maximum 1.5 km length at any water depth. The pipeline is towed as in the diagram below;

Pipeline normally tow at 1.0 km length.

Methodology – Bow String and Buoyancy

Pipelay work could also be done using surface tow method which eliminate the constraint of water depth, and hence capable of laying pipeline of maximum 1.5 km length at any water depth. The pipeline is towed with buoyancy tank attached to it as in the diagram below;
