As offshore structures are exposed to many forces of nature, maintaining their safety, reducing carbon emissions and functionality is crucial, especially when operators consider extending their service life or repurposing them for energy transition projects like hydrogen storage, carbon capture (CCUS), or offshore wind energy. Traditional design methods, based on outdated standards, are often inadequate for cost-effectively managing the integrity of these aging assets.
Our holistic approach to encompasses comprehensive engineering services, including fitness for service (FFS) assessments, risk-based inspections (RBI), and structural health monitoring (SHM). We provide these services under one roof, enhanced by automated processes and rapid reporting to meet operational demands. Our solutions are built on a strong technological foundation that has earned decades of industry trust and credibility.
Structural integrity issues, such as fatigue, seismic activity, and material aging, pose significant challenges to the safety and longevity of fixed and floating offshore structures. Our SIM Engineering Consultancy service provides tailored solutions for 'fitness for service' (FFS) assessments, life extension, and repurposing of offshore structures. The data-driven approaches are supported by a comprehensive suite of assessment tools, including risk-informed decision making (RIDM), structural reliability analysis (SRA), fatigue and seismic analysis, ensuring your offshore structures remain safe and efficient.
Ensuring the safety and reliability of critical infrastructure assets is crucial. Challenges such as risk management, quality assurance, and competency development must be addressed effectively. We provide independent project management, quality assurance, due diligence, training, competency management, and SIM framework development & audits. By collaborating with you, our customer, we achieve operational excellence through risk minimization, feasibility studies, technology analysis, procurement oversight, and the development of standard operating procedures and performance standards.
Managing damage evaluation and anomalies in offshore structures like topsides and jackets is challenging and requires a strategic approach. Our tailored Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) approach involves risk rating facilities and optimizing inspections. We develop and implement a comprehensive RBI framework, managing the entire transition process to ensure effective and efficient inspection strategies in your organization.
Achieving cost efficiencies in integrity management programs is crucial for offshore structures. Our high-tech solutions use structural health monitoring (SHM) to optimize these programs. We provide value analysis, installation support, data acquisition, processing, validation, and interpretation. By integrating monitoring data with assessment and inspection results, we optimize SIM strategies and manage data throughout the SIM lifecycle.
