Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are systems and methods for stabilizing a subsea pipeline such that movements of the pipeline in the axial, lateral and/or vertical directions are restrained. The pipeline is connected to a stabilizing structure generally adjacent to the pipeline using one or more load-bearing members attached to the pipeline and the stabilizing structure at one or more predetermined locations. Also disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring operating parameters of the pipeline over time.
