McDermott Completes

First Phase Of Mobile Bay

Pipeline Project

McDermott Marine Construction recently completed the installation of the 1991 phase of Exxon's Mobile

Bay offshore pipeline system. This first phase of the project included the laying of flowlines made of cor- rosion resistant alloy in the Bon

Secour field.

The joint project team of Exxon and McDermott were challenged by stringent environmental restrictions established by the State of Alabama.

In order to meet zero discharge regu- lations in the Mobile Bay area,

McDermott installed perimeter con- tainment curbing around construc- tion vessels. Mesh screens and cov- ers were also installed around dredged spoil areas to reduce tur- bidity.

Four drilled crossings were re- quired during the first phase.

A specially converted barge used to lay multiple lines in shallow wa- ter laid as many as five lines at a time. Line sizes varied from four inch epoxy-coated to twenty-four inch concrete coated pipe.

New Control Lever Simplifies

Boat Steering Operation

Small enough to be mounted al- most anywhere and sealed to with- stand saltwater corrosion, a new full follow-up control lever has been in- troduced to the marine industry.

The model #7171 follow-up con- trol lever is made of weather-resis- tant bronze and stainless steel by

Kobelt Manufacturing.

A centered lever notch guaran- tees easy straight-ahead position- ing. Simply adjusting the control lever to any degree port or starboard causes the rudder to follow propor- tionately.
