  • Subsea conduit support apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5290127
    Abstract: A subsea conduit support apparatus including a frame having a plurality of legs extending to a seabed for supporting the frame. The legs are selectively moveable to position the frame member relative to the contour of the seabed. A clamp or ring is carried by the frame to hold the conduit within the apparatus and may be allowed to rotate within the frame, so that undulations or irregularities in the seabed do not affect a substantially horizontal or other selected continuous positioning of the conduit relative to the seabed.
