Installation Analysis
Corlip personnel have experience in the installation analyses of offshore cables, flexible pipelines/risers and umbilicals including assessment of:
- Initiation
- Normal Lay
- Laydown
- Abandonment and Recovery
- Buoyancy Modules
- Mid Water Arches
- Hold down/back clamps, clump weights and tethers

Cross Section Design
Corlip employs engineers with manufacturing backgrounds and so understands products at a component level. This ensures representative local cross section analysis:
- Corlip has the analysis capability to perform local structural assessments of complex helical cross sections for cables and flowlines
- It is critical to the design of lines with helical components that the Helical nature of the various layers and the stick-slip relationship between those layers is well understood
- Typically, parts of these lines sit within a dynamic region where it is important to understand the level of fatigue damage received by each layer
