Two next-generation deepwater pipeline plows designed and built by UK-based IHC Engineering Business (EB) recently left EB's Hadrian Riverside workshops on Tyneside for extensive offshore commissioning and installation on the owner's vessels.rnThe new-build PL3 and BPL3 Plows are the largest subsea plows EB has developed. Designed to handle pipeline diameters of up to 1.55 meters in water depths of 1,000 meters, they will be used for burial of main pipeline trunk routes. Their design follows the theme of plows being specified for ever-larger pipe diameters to match technological developments.
