This project aims to develop geotechnical design tools, software, and publish design guidelines, for engineers to lay and keep cryogenic pipelines stable on the seabed. Transferring liquefied natural gas between floating tankers and onshore plants conventionally relies on a pipeline on a trestle system. As an alternative, novel subsea cryogenic pipelines are being considered. By ensuring the stability of subsea cryogenic pipelines laid directly on the seabed, this project will provide significant benefits to Australia’s liquefied natural gas trade by unlocking substantial cost savings, and making this key export industry more competitive.

该项目旨在开发岩土工程设计工具、软件，并发布设计指南，供工程师在海底铺设和保持低温管道的稳定。在浮式油轮和陆上工厂之间运输液化天然气通常依赖于栈桥系统上的管道。作为替代方案，新型海底低温管道正在考虑之中。通过确保直接铺设在海底的海底低温管道的稳定性，该项目将为澳大利亚的液化天然气贸易带来巨大的好处，节省大量成本，并使这一关键出口行业更具竞争力。
