General Naval & Structural Engineering
The experience of naval architects are capable of executing stability and longitudinal calculations and prepare booklets for ta range of vessels such as barges, tugs, platform supply vessels, tankers, bulk carriers, jackups, FPSOs etc. In compliance with relevant classifications society rules and IMO regulations and other specific criteria required for special purpose ships.
Vessel upgrades are inevitable based on project specific requirements and execution philosophy. With our experience in marine and offshore engineering industry, we are capable of undertaking vessel upgrade studies and structural & piping modifications and developing upgrade designs ranging from conversions including deck cargo barge to pipelay/ cable lay barge or accommodation barge, mooring systems upgradation, ballast system upgradation, barge structural modifications etc. in accordance with project and client specific requirement.
The Team of experts are capable of preparing various Calculations/Manuals/ Plans complying with the requirements of SOLAS (Fire Control Plan, LSA, & FFA plan, Emergency Towing Booklet etc,) MARPOL (SOPEP, SMPEP, SEEMP, Sewage Discharge Rate Calculation, GMP, ODSR etc). ILLC (Freeboard Calculation, LL Plan etc,) ITC(Tonnage Computation), ISM Code (ISM Manuals,) ISPS Code (SSP, Restricted Area Plan & SSA) and MLC Convention (DMLC Part II, MLC Manual etc)
Our consultancy team can undertake and perform structural analysis to verify the structural integrity and adequacy in way of critical areas such as crane pedestals, helidecks, heavy equipment’s etc. with the aid of finite element analysis using high end FEA software’s. We are capable of performing global finite element analysis and local finite element analysis. We can perform both liner and nonlinear analysis and are capable of generating FEM Models based on beam elements and 2D/3D shell elements depending upon the criticality and complexity of the analysis needs.
We can provide motion analysis for a range of vessel types exposed to random seas including barges, vessels, floater concepts such as semi submersibles, spars, TLPs, FPSOs etc. The outputs from the motion response analysis can be used to evaluate the natural periods of floater motions, significant and maximum motion response of the vessel in a required seastate, passenger comfort performance etc.
Offshore Installation Engineering
Our consultancy services can provide tow analysis complying with applicable marine warranty surveyor (MWS) guidelines and client specific requirements to determine an optimum towing draft and floating condition for the trans- portation vessel for ocean tow, ballast requirements for the tow, tow stability analysis, Sea fastening analysis, longitudinal strength checks for still water, hogging and sagging conditions, bollard pull estimations for ambient sea and storm sea conditions for selection of suitable tugs and design of tow equipment and towing arrangement plans.
With our expertise in the marine and offshore engineering industry, we are capable of undertaking and performing mooring analysis for permanent mooring systems and mobile mooring systems as per the requirements of API-RP-2SK, DV POSMOOR and other recognized industry standards and incorporating client specific requirements. We can carry out mooring analysis using frequency domain analysis methods or more realistic time domain analysis methods with or without the inclusion of mooring line dynamics.
Engineered Lift Studies & Rigging Arrangement Designs Lift analysis is mainly undertaken to ascertain that the dynamic amplification factor (DAF), the crane cross angle, vertical excursion of the crane boom tip etc. are within allowable limits based on specification of crane manufacturer and client specific requirement, in addition, pendulum instability checks for the lifted structure needs to be evaluated in order to ascertain that the lift can be performed at wave periods present at the site. We can carry out dynamic analysis to establish a limiting weather envelope satisfyingly the above mentioned requirements to carry out the lift operation safely and without exceeding the crane utilization capacity taking into account the DAF. We can also perform rigging arrangement design covering the development of rigging arrangement drawing, selection of rigging slings and rigging components, structural design and adequacy checks for pad eyes and trunnions and hook prong checks for eccentric loadings.
Subsea structures deployment and recovery analysis is undertaken to estimate the dynamic loads on the slings and associated equipment during lowering or recovery operations. We can perform the subsea lowering analysis using the simplified approach as stipulated by DNV-RP-H103 or detailed fully coupled dynamic analysis covering all important stages of lowering or recovery operations as mentioned below: Lift in Air Lift through splash zone • Lift in water Lowering on to seabed Lifting off from seabed Resonance checks during the lifting and lowering operation can also be verified. The analysis aims to establish and quantify the limiting sea state for the installation or recovery of subsea structures.
Jacket Launch, Upending & Docking analysis A cost effective and elegant way of floating substantially large and heavy jacket is to launch the jacket from a launch barge. We can perform jacket launch analysis complying with the marine warranty surveyor guidelines and client specific requirements and the analysis aims to provide the following checks for the launch such as barge ballasting requirement for arriving at
Loadout calculations are needed to verify the stability and longitudinal strength of the loadout barge is within acceptable limits during each of the critical stages of loadout for the minimum and maximum permissible drafts, determine the tidal window for the loadout operation defining the safe maximum and minimum values.
Subsea Pipeline & Flexible Engineering
Offshore pipeline construction is based on a moored or dynamically positioned lay barge. The lay barge moves ahead as individual pipe joints are welded onboard. Pipelay installation analysis is carried out to finalize and optimize the lay parameters of the pipelay barge and stinger and to demonstrate the safe and successful installation by ensuring that the pipe stresses are within acceptable limits at any point during the installation activity as per the requirements of applicable codes and standards and client specific requirements. With respect to pipelay installation analysis, our analysis report covers, but not limited to, the following studies such as static
The cable/umbilical/flexible pipeline is normally laid either from a reel or a carousel through a tensioner and over a chute on the installation vessel. Flexible installation analysis needs to be carried out to determine the optimum lay parameters for the installation vessel and to demonstrate and ascertain that the cable/umbilical/flexible can be installed safely without infringing any of its design parameters and the loads on the cable and its material bending radius are within acceptable limits. Through analysis, we aim to provide the following, but not
Subsea pipelines are increasingly designed to operate at higher pressures and higher temperatures. As far as the global buckling phenomenon associated with pipelines, high pressures and high temperatures are potential factors that act as the driving force for the onset of global buckling. We are capable of analyzing the potential of global buckling by evaluating the effective axial force build-up along the pipeline route and to subsequently evaluate the possible mitigation measures to prevent the onset of global buckling phenomenon.
Offshore riser systems are steel/flexible pipes specifically designed to trans- fer the formation fluid from the pipeline at the seabed to the processing plat- form at the surface. We are able to undertake and execute global static and dynamic analysis of production and drilling riser systems and covering all types of riser configurations such as SCRs, TTs, hybrid risers, flexible risers etc. We aim to provide and estimate the following response quantities as output from a global riser analysis which are cross sectional forces/ moments, global riser deflections, global riser positions, reaction loads at termination structures etc.
