Each equipment can be custom made according customer specifications.

The machine has been designed and developed to perform the abandonment and the recovery of the pipeline into and from the sea.

This operation can be necessary during the laying operation, depending on the sea condition.

The abandonment and the recovery of the pipeline is performed by the winch using the winding system and a rope, that is connected to an abandonment/recovery fitting installed on the pipeline.

The machine is powered by the following electrical motors:

• three motors operate the rope roller;

• one motor operates the winding system.

The pneumatic system feeds the opening of the brake callipers.

The machine is electronically controlled and managed, in order to guarantee the safety of the operations; it can be commanded through a control desk.

The machine can be operated both in the automatic and the manual mode.

Within each operating mode it is possible to select a current or velocity sub-mode, by which the operator sets the parameters of the motors that the on-board computer takes as reference to control and regulate the winding system.

The machine can be equipped with the following optional items:

• A fixed sheave instrumented with a load cell, whose purpose is to sense the rope tension and transmit the signal to the control system.

• Retractable/movable sheaves used to guide the rope in particular installation conditions.

These above equipment, if supplied, must be installed on the ship deck.
