Smulders was responsible for the production and assembly of a Stinger, a frame that hangs behind the Pioneering Spirit. On board of the Pioneering Spirit, pipe parts are welded together. Via the Stinger transition-frame (on board of the Pioneering Spirit) the pipe is placed on the Stinger and rolls over the 'rollerboxes' into the water. The Stinger leads the pipe to the bottom of the sea and guarantees the most ideal curvature of the welded pipe during the installation phase.
