The effects of surging and heaving movements of installation platform on mechanical behaviors of SCT installation pipe was studied. Movements of SCT installation platform, ocean wave and current, water depth, SCT weight, installation pipe specification and those dominate the mechanical behaviors of installation pipe and SCT installation precision were considered. The results indicate that surging movement of the platform is the main factor that dominate the deformation of the installation pipe. The surging and heaving movements have significant effect on the tension force loaded on the installation pipe and thus need to be considered when designing SCT installation.
