• Conduct on-bottom stability, roughness, and free-span assessments
• Design pipe-in-pipe and bundled pipeline systems
• Perform trawl impact and pull-over analyses
• Execute pipeline pull-in assessments
• Design spools for tie-ins and thermal expansion requirements
• Design and assess pipeline components
• Technical Coordination & Project Interface
