In a method of positioning a flowline bundle 10 below the surface of a body of water spaced apart flowline base structures 28, 34 are secured to the water bottom and the flowline bundle is towed to a position above the flowline base structures 28, 34. One end 16 of the flowline bundle 10 is then connected to a first cable 24 and the other end 18 of the flowline bundle 10 is connected to a second cable 30. The first cable 24 is passed through one of said flowline base structures 28 and the second cable 30 is passed through the other flowline base structure 34. The ends of the flowline bundle 10 are then simultaneously drawn down and subsequently connected to the flowline base structures 28, 34. <IMAGE> |
