DATA
5.1
General
The calculation considers buoyancy of the pipe in a buoyant fluid medium and in areas having a
high water table and little or no soil cohesion.
When the unit weight of the pipeline is lower than the unit uplift force when buried in the soil, the
pipeline will float. Adding concrete coating or weight to the pipeline will increase the unit weight
and ensure that the pipeline will stay buried in the soil.
An empty pipe has been assumed for the purpose of the calculation.

Thus, based on saddle weight calculation for 12 pipeline, each 12 m pipe joint equipped with 3
saddle weight can be stably sunk down in the fluid soil of swampy area.
The saddle weights should be designed with a centre of gravity as low as possible so that they
are stable on the pipe and not inclined to topple off.
Reinforcing in the saddle weights should be connected to the lifting lugs so that there is no
possibility of the lugs breaking loose during lifting and the weight falling on the pipe.
A proper soft rubber shall be installed between pipe and saddle weight to avoid damage of pipes
external coating.
