Abstract
A flexible pipe containment sled includes a platform and a first sled portion coupled to a bottom surface of the platform. The first sled portion is disposed at a first side of the platform. The sled also includes a second sled portion coupled to the bottom surface of the platform. The second sled portion is disposed at a second side of the platform opposite to the first side of the platform. The sled also includes a passage formed between the first and second sled portions. The passage is configured to allow a flexible pipe to pass through the passage while the flexible pipe containment sled is placed on a surface.
Claims18
A flexible pipe containment sled, comprising:
- a platform configured to be substantially parallel with a surface;
- a first sled portion fixedly coupled to a bottom surface of the platform, wherein the first sled portion is disposed at a first side of the platform;
- a second sled portion fixedly coupled to the bottom surface of the platform, wherein the second sled portion is disposed at a second side of the platform opposite to the first side of the platform;
- a passage formed between the first and second sled portions, wherein the passage is configured to allow a flexible pipe to pass through the passage in a direction substantially parallel to the surface while a first bottom sled surface of the first sled portion and a second bottom sled surface of the second sled portion are placed on the surface;
- a first set of structural members fixedly connected to and disposed between the platform and the first bottom sled surface;
- and
- a second set of structural members fixedly connected to and disposed between the platform and the second bottom sled surface.
A method of using a flexible pipe containment sled, comprising:
- placing the flexible pipe containment sled on a surface, wherein the flexible pipe containment sled comprises:
- a platform configured to be substantially parallel with the surface;
- a first sled portion fixedly coupled to a bottom surface of the platform, wherein the first sled portion is disposed at a first side of the platform;
- a second sled portion fixedly coupled to the bottom surface of the platform, wherein the second sled portion is disposed at a second side of the platform opposite to the first side of the platform;
- a passage formed between the first and second sled portions, wherein the passage is configured to allow a flexible pipe to pass through the passage in a direction substantially parallel to the surface while a first bottom sled surface of the first sled portion and a second bottom sled surface of the second sled portion are placed on the surface;
- a first set of structural members fixedly connected to and disposed between the platform and the first bottom sled surface;
- and
- a second set of structural members fixedly connected to and disposed between the platform and the second bottom sled surface.
