Enshore’s Advanced Pipeline Plough (APP) has a solid track record for the pre-lay trenching and post-lay burial of large diameter pipelines and flowlines in multiple soils using multi-pass ploughing.
APP – diverless operation, reducing project risks
Adjustable skid for enhanced burial performance
Proven and accepted trenching methodology
Mouldboards can be added for boulder clearance
We make good of use the APP’s flexible Heave Compensated launch and recovery system, enabling us to work in extreme conditions that might prove challenging otherwise. In addition, we can add mouldboards to the APP’s main frame for boulder clearance work.
Enshore’s APP has also delivered extensive pre-cut burial work, and been used in projects that require decommissioned, surface laid pipelines to be lowered in depth.
