- Updated edition of a best-selling title - Author brings 25 years experience to the work - Addresses the key issues of economy and environment Marine pipelines for the transportation of oil and gas have become a safe and reliable way to exploit the valuable resources below the world's seas and oceans. The design of these pipelines is a relatively new technology and continues to evolve in its quest to reduce costs and minimise the effect on the environment. With over 25years experience, Professor Yong Bai has been able to assimilate the essence of the applied mechanics aspects...

U.S. architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) firms doing business in China are minimally successful because they are unfamiliar with the Chinese market. To assist the U.S. AEC firms to become more competitive in the Chinese market, a comprehensive investigation of the Chinese construction industry after the Culture Revolution was conducted. The development of the industry was divided into three stages: the first stage was from 1978 to 1992, the second stage was from 1992 to 2001, and the third stage was from 2001 to 2007. In each stage, the administrative framework, laws and...

Chinese contractors are increasingly playing a significant role in the global construction market. This book presents a comprehensive study of the global expansion of Chinese construction companies as a result of Chinese open-door policies, by describing their developments from 1950 to 2008, highlighting their achievements, and identifying the main constraints preventing them from playing a more effective and efficient role in the global construction market. The development of Chinese construction companies in the global market was divided into three periods: the first period from ...

Recent changes in the codes for building pipelines has led to a boom in the production of new materials that can be used in flexible pipes. With the use of polymers, steel, and other new materials and variations on existing materials, the construction and, therefore, the installation and operation of flexible pipes is changing and being improved upon all over the world. The authors of this work have written numerous books and papers on these subjects and are some of the most influential authors on flexible pipes in the world, contributing much of the literature on this subject to the...

As deepwater wells are drilled to greater depths, pipeline engineers and designers are confronted with new problems such as water depth, weather conditions, ocean currents, equipment reliability, and well accessibility. Subsea Pipeline Design, Analysis and Installation is based on the authors' 30 years of experience in offshore. The authors provide rigorous coverage of the entire spectrum of subjects in the discipline, from pipe installation and routing selection and planning to design, construction, and installation of pipelines in some of the harshest underwater environments around...

Subsea repairs and inspection are costly for petroleum and pipeline engineers and proper training is needed to focus on ensuring system strength and integrity. Subsea Pipeline Integrity and Risk Management is the perfect companion for new engineers who need to be aware of the state-of-the-art techniques. This handbook offers a "hands-on" problem-solving approach to integrity management, leak detection, and reliability applications such as risk analysis.
Wide-ranging and easy-to-use, the book is packed with data tables, illustrations, and calculations, with a focus on...
