The anonymous website author writes an article entitled " Upheaval and Lateral Buckling":
"Upheavals and lateral buckling are common in High Temperature High Pressure (HTHP) pipelines. CAPE can undertake susceptibility assessments for both upheaval and lateral buckling and provide suitable mitigation solutions."
"Upheavals and lateral buckling are common in High Temperature High Pressure (HTHP) pipelines. Upheaval buckling is often mitigated by burying the pipeline in the seabed or mattress/rock placement on top of the pipelines. CAPE is able to assess whether a pipeline is susceptible for upheaval buckling under operating conditions and provide solutions to mitigate it if required."
"Lateral buckling is an issue for surface laid HTHP pipelines and if lateral buckling is allowed to continue unattended, it can lead to pipeline failure due to cyclic loading. CAPE can assess the lateral buckling susceptibility based on pipeline and seabed conditions and advice on appropriate mitigation measures.
CAPE can assess the upheaval buckling or lateral buckling, assess and perform the mitigation options"
