Thor Horizontal Tie-in
The Thor Tie-In System covers a wide range of subsea connections and is applicable for all horizontal tie-in purposes regardless of pipeline size. It can be applied to both rigid and flexible spools as well as to direct pipeline tie-in. The system can be configured for mono-, dual- and multibore lines in addition to pressure caps and pig launchers/receivers.
It is the simple and robust design that makes the Thor Tie-in so attractive. It provides high structural capacity with a unique and patented method of transferring parts of the external moments into the supporting structure to reduce loads on connectors, piping and adjacent valves. Its compact design reduces inventory and is easy to machine, assemble and install.
The system is installed by simple ROV carried tools, these tools are available for rent or purchase, requiring only one supervisor per shift.
The Thor Tie-in is field-proven and in operation. KONGSBERG has delivered twelve tie-in systems for installation of rigid spools on the pipelines between the Edvard Grieg and Ivar Aasen jackets and also to the Hibernia oil field in the North Atlantic.
Vertical Tie-in
A vertical tie-in system has been developed to cater for all vertical tie-in needs.
The system is mechanically simple and all the required utility equipment, such as tools for hub cleaning, seal replacement and a pull down/pull out tool, are included. Suitable for both flexible and rigid spools, the system is landed and initially aligned on guideposts, while water dampers and a fine lowering arrangement ensure a smooth landing on the hub. Our vertical tie-in system is also field proven and in operation.

Customised Tie-In
KONGSBERG has conducted several customised tie-in projects. These have primarily dealt with modules on subsea structures and very large bore tie-ins. These system solutions are characterised by robust solutions with high moment capacity and minimum operational cost.
