SAFEBUCK

The Atkins-led SAFEBUCK Joint Industry Project (JIP) was launched in 2002, and ran until 2015, to develop novel yet safe methodologies for the design of deepwater, or high pressure, high temperature (HPHT), pipelines which are susceptible to lateral buckling, and the associated challenge of pipeline walking. The SAFEBUCK Design Guideline enables engineers to design pipelines that are deliberately encouraged to buckle in a controlled way, thus reducing and sharing the loads between each buckle site.
