PIPELINE APPROACH [4 records]

OBS

Northern Pipeline Projects Ltd.(NPPL) was incorporated in Alberta in 2001 by the founding and current shareholders : the Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada(PLCAC) ;the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada(UA) ;the International Union of Operating Engineers(IUOE) ;the Laborers’ International Union of North America(LIUNA) ;and Teamsters Canada(Teamsters). From its beginnings, NPPL has been proactive with a recognition that a new approach would be helpful in positioning its shareholders in Canada's north where there was an anticipation of extensive opportunities and a population with minimal if any experience with pipeline construction. NPPL has and continues to work with northern decision makers to identify the jobs and business opportunities that will result once there has been a commitment to build mainline pipelines in the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territories. It also makes available its shareholders’ expertise in regard to training programs so that northern people have every chance to maximize their involvement in the pipeline construction process.

CONT

The current use of strain-based design has many project-specific components. This limits the ability of a "cookbook" approach where each step can be laid out as part of common design sequence to apply to all areas of pipe strain-based design. This situation would indicate that taking the current state-of-the-art methods and creating a code or standard would be ineffective at covering the range of needs for future pipeline designs. Yet, because there are many choices that are part of a particular pipeline strain-based design, the availability of guidance and recommended practices can help simplify the design and qualification process for many pipelines.

OBS

The primary areas where strain-based design will be used are in design of reeled laying of offshore pipelines, in thermal design of arctic pipelines, in design of types of offshore pipelay systems, in design and assessment of pipelines in areas with significant expected ground movement, and in HT/HP [high-temperature/high-pressure] pipeline designs.

OBS

Scia Pipeline est un logiciel spécial pour la conception de pipelines continus aux diverses conditions d'appui. [...] Avec Scia Pipeline, il est possible de modéliser des pipelines en 3D avec prise en compte des grands déplacements et déformations.

OBS

La présence de défauts nocifs dans les structures off-shore doit être évitée. Cela nécessite une bonne connaissance du matériau et des processus de fabrication et d'utilisation du pipeline. Une bonne connaissance du matériau et de son comportement passe par l'étude en laboratoire de son aptitude à se déformer sous diverses sollicitations. Ces sollicitations sont choisies comme étant représentatives de ce que subit le matériau lors de la fabrication de la gaine et lors de sa pose dans son milieu d'utilisation. L'identification faite par Technip-FlexiFrance montre que la gaine subit de la flexion dans sa globalité et que les fluages sont soumis à des efforts de traction.

OBS

Un défi particulier pour la recherche et le développement concerne les exigences liées à la pose de conduites dans des régions dont le sol est instable ou a tendance à bouger en raison, par exemple, de tremblements de terre ou du gel. Pour ces situations, un nouveau concept, nommé «Strain Based Design» est appliqué : il garantit une grande aptitude des aciers à la déformation.

OBS

... in the interest of making faster chips, designers have begun to include more hardware to process more tasks at each stage of a pipeline. The buzzword "superscalar" is commonly used to describe this approach.

Domaine(s)
  • Cycle de vie (Informatique)
CONT

Afin d'introduire des microprocesseurs encore plus rapides, les ingénieurs cherchent aujourd'hui à y introduire plus d'éléments afin d'accomplir plus d'opérations à chaque étape du pipeline : c'est la méthode «superscalaire».
