A rigid or articulated ramp attached to a pipe-laying barge, which serves as a catenary support for the welded pipe as it is lowered onto the sea bed. 3, record 1, English, - stinger
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The rigid stinger is in two curved, hinged parts, but the articulated type is made up of four or five sections, perhaps 100 metres long overall. Buoyancy controls can regulate the depth of the stinger to optimize the bending forces on the completed pipe on its way to the sea floor. A stinger may have to support some 300 to 400 metres of pipe. 3, record 1, English, - stinger

La construction de ces canalisations [oléoducs ou gazoducs] pose des problèmes difficiles. Les méthodes actuelles utilisent la technique dite de pose à l'avancement. La canalisation est construite par éléments de tube de 12 mètres qui sont soudés bout à bout, à bord de la barge de pose. La partie de la canalisation qui est en cours de pose décrit une courbe située entre le fond marin et la barge de pose. Après chaque soudure, la barge de pose avance de la largeur d’un tube et le profil de la partie suspendue se déplace parallèlement à lui-même. Afin d’assurer la stabilité du profil, la barge de pose exerce une tension sur la canalisation. Par ailleurs, celle-ci est soutenue dans la première partie de la courbe par une poutre articulée, le stinger, solidaire de la barge de pose. 3, record 2, French, - barge%20de%20pose
