Risk and Safety Analysis

In the last decades, there has been a growing interest in the installation of heavy and complex shape subsea equipment, consequently, a detailed analysis of this process is required to provide cost-effective, safe, and feasible solutions. Here, we review the advancements in subsea installation modeling focusing on three stages of installation: (1) lowering through the wave splash zone, (2) structure fully submerged, and (3) structure near the seabed. To understand these various stages, a wide range of models have been proposed over time. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive summary of this body of literature. In the end, we discuss the assumptions for each phase, which shows up open challenges and possible directions for future work to improve the understanding and modeling of the subsea installation process.
