Technology - Mechanically lined pipe by reel-lay

To address the challenge of transporting highly corrosive products, Subsea 7 has collaborated with the BUTTING Group, a leading pipe manufacturer, to further develop the BuBi® Mechanically Lined pipe to be installed by the reel-lay method.
This is a significantly competitive alternative to technologies such as the more expensive alloys or metallurgically clad pipe. Its effectiveness has been recognised with a recent major contract award in Brazil and claiming one of the most prestigious pipeline industry Awards in 2012 - the Pipeline Industries Guild Award.
