PLEM and PLET Project description Pipeline End Manifolds (PLEM) and Pipeline End Terminations (PLET) are subsea structures, designed to be attached to the end of a subsea pipeline, providing a means to tie-in the pipeline to other (subsea) structures. Typically they consists of: • Structural framing • Piping system with valves and components • Foundation Scope KCI has designed many PLEMs/PLETs for several customers in the Oil & Gas industry. The structures were placed at various water depths by means of different installation methods. On numerous projects KCI’s scope for a PLEM/PLET project included: • Structural design • Piping design, including piping stress analyses • Foundation design • Cathodic Protection design • Installation engineering Additionally on certain projects, KCI’s scope included as well: • Pig launching/receiving facilities • Electrical and Instrumentation scope • Preparation of specifications Project show case

Speci�c challengeIn the design of a PLEM or PLET, the biggest challenges can be found in interfaces:
Many boundary conditions are de�ned by these interfaces, in�uencing the �nal design of the PLEM or PLET structure.
Key success factors The following factors contributed to the successful completion of several PLEM/PLET projects:
1. Multidisciplinary approach KCI has all engineering disciplines in house required for robust PLEM/PLET designs and can interface easily between these disciplines.
2. Support KCI renders support for the certi�cation of PLEM/PLET structures by Certifying agencies.
3. Unique insight As KCI also supports its customer with fabrication and installation engineering, KCI’s engineers have a very good practical feeling for robust designs. All fabrication and installation knowledge is incorporated from conceptual to detailed design.
