key advantages

  • Demonstrate that structures are safe
  • Implement best practice in structural integrity management
  • Extend the useful life of aging structures
  • Defer the costs and disruption of decomissioning

The Solution

ROSEN offers a full range of structural integrity management services ranging from management systems to detailed non-linear structural analysis to inspection, maintenance and repair strategies.

Structural Integrity Management (SIM)

  • SIM for fixed and floating offshore platforms, and onshore liquefied natural gas structures
  • Life extension of facilities
  • Development and implementation of SIM processes
  • SIM audit, benchmarking and validation support
  • Root cause analysis (RCA)
  • Technical authority and owners engineering support
  • Development of standard operating procedures (SOP), performance standards, operational excellent management systems (OEMS)
  • Risk assessment and ALARP studies

 

Analysis & Design

  • In-place, pre-service (lifting, loadout, transportation), dynamic, fatigue and seismic finite element analyses (FEA) using SACS, SESAM, USFOS, Ansys and ABAQUS
  • Pushover based ultimate strength assessment including “wave in deck” assessment and structural reliability assessment
  • Structural retrograde analysis and C.I.T.E. (SIM triad strategies)
  • Wellhead, production and LQ platform topsides and jacket strengthening
  • RBI based “fit-for-purpose” engineering
  • Online monitoring (OLM) integrated multi-modal analysis for accurate platform load and stiffness estimation
  • Structural response analysis and vibration monitoring and assessment
  • Conductor stabilization (swaying/sinking/well growth) assessment
  • Structural support to pipeline stability under internal and external pressures under different loading scenarios
  • Platform rigging/de-rigging studies

 

Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR)

  • Preparation and implementation of structural topsides and substructure IMR strategies and work-packs
  • Predictive and preventative maintenance
  • Troubleshooting and anomaly management
  • Condition-based monitoring of offshore platforms and onshore LNG plants
  • Risk-based inspection (RBI) and FFS assessment

 

Training

  • Development and delivery of technical training modules
  • Coaching and mentoring of facilities engineers
  • Competency assessment and assurance
