This Firing Line Equipment has been designed to perform the handling of pipe sections and strings from the storage area to the firing ramp of the vessel. The pipe sections need to be transported from the storage area to the processing machines, where they are bevelled and welded. The welding process has the purpose to manufacture a quadruple joint string. Then, after the welding and the NDT inspections, the quadruple joint strings are transported along the firing line. The line consists of the following three major sections:

• Longitudinal Conveyors

• Line-up and Transversal Conveyor

• Firing Ramp

The whole system is based on the following different machines, each of them accomplishing a dedicated function. The machines are listed in the order of the stations passed by the pipe sections during the process, from the storage area to the firing ramp.

The control system has been designed to allow the safe control of the whole system through three main control desks and some local control desks and boxes.

The firing line electrical system consists of three electrical enclosures and the necessary junction boxes and cables. The enclosures contain all the power and control components. Each of them is conditioned by a dedicated cooler unit. They are so identified:

• Longitudinal Conveyors Enclosure (LCE)

• Line-up and Transversal Conveyor Enclosure (LUE)

• Firing Ramp Enclosure (FRE)

The status of the Firing Line Equipment can be monitored through a dedicated software. The Firing Line Equipment is provided with a Personal Computer, that must be linked to the Line control system through dedicated connections. A dedicated software is loaded in the PC to display all the necessary Firing Line status information. The software operates in a Windows 95/98 environment and the user interface follows the Windows standards.
