I. SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Coflexip Drinking Water Discharge System is to be used aboard the U.S. Army ROWPU barge, and will provide a
means of discharging 300,000 gallons per day of drinking water via a flexible pipeline to a storage area ashore. See
Figure I-1
The system can be operated from the ROWPU barge anchored in waters up to 50 feet deep and in currents up to 3
knots. Sand and mud conditions are expected on the sea bottom. An active surf zone developed by a sea state 3 is
expected over an unimproved beach.
The Coflexip Drinking Water Discharge System has been designed and built according to the following general
requirements:
-
maximum operating pressure: 275 psi
-
flowrate capacity: 300,000 gallons per day
-
flexible pipeline length: 2,500 feet
-
minimum deployment time
-
long service
-
maintain a high standard of corrosion resistance
-
limited maintenance
-
minimal training of personnel who will operate the ROWPU
