TECHNICAL SCOPE OVERVIEW

Engineered for Structural Durability and Constructability

Offshore jackets must survive decades of relentless hydrodynamic force, storm surges, and marine corrosion. ODS engineers 3-leg and 4-leg battered jacket substructures, pile-through-leg systems, mudmats, and sacrificial anode cathodic protection layouts, ensuring safe transfer of topside weight into the seabed.

Detailed Engineering Capabilities

4-leg and 3-leg tubular steel jacket geometry optimization
Hydrodynamic wave, vortex-induced vibration (VIV), and current force modeling
Pile-soil interaction (p-y curves) and pile driveability engineering
Mudmat sizing and on-bottom stability during un-piled installation
Jacket launch, barge float-over, crane upending, and setting simulation
Cathodic protection (CP) anode design and marine growth allowance

Typical Deliverables Issued

  • Jacket Structural Calculation Books (In-Place, Extreme Storm, Fatigue)
  • Tubular Joint Punching Shear and Stiffened Node Verification
  • Pile Penetration and Driving Fatigue Reports
  • Jacket Assembly Plans, Ring Stiffeners, and Node Detailing
  • Appurtenance Layouts (Conductors, Risers, J-tubes, Boat Landings)

Frequently Asked Engineering Questions

How are complex tubular joints and nodes analyzed?

We perform punching shear calculations in accordance with API RP 2A joint geometry limits, and execute high-resolution FEA on critical or ring-stiffened can nodes.

Do you calculate installation fatigue during marine transport?

Yes, we assess cyclic wave inertia stresses during open ocean barge transit to ensure accumulated fatigue damage remains well within allowable thresholds.
