Brown GrRoot
The BAR-347, Brown Root's new third
generation pipelaying barge. Designed to
allow more working time in extremely
rough and unusually deep water, it meas
ures 650 feet in length by 140 feet in width
by 50 feet in depth.
The barge's center-line, elevated pipe
ramp, and three pipe tensioners permit
the laying of 80-foot length, double-
jointed, large-diameter pipe in deep water,
without the use of a pipelaying pontoon.
The BAR-347's first assignment was
laying the very first 42-inch pipeline in
the Gulf of Mexico, in waters of up to 150
feet in depth.
With housing facilities for 350 people
and storage for 20,000 tons of pipe, the
barge has capabilities for either seven
work stations for double-jointed pipe or
nine work stations for 40-foot automatic
or manual welding joints. Also included:
a pipe bevelling station, two 125-ton
capacity gantry cranes, twelve 60,000-
pound anchors, and a heliport.
The BAR-347, the barge that's helping
to bring offshore energy onshore.
