Overage length laydown and expansion loops
Overage length laydown and expansion loops
(OP)
I've been asked about a 2km long umbilical and what "overage" and the size of expansion loops at one end are required.
I heard that ordering 1% over the point to point length is appropriate and it's dependent on seabed topography.
What codes have anything on this? Is 1% too much?
Thanks
