Industry
Offshore Oil & Gas
Fixed platforms, jackets, topsides and ageing offshore structures.
Integrity challenges
What usually governs remaining life.
- Fatigue accumulation at tubular joints and welded details under wave loading
- Splash-zone and submerged corrosion with limited inspection access
- Marine growth altering hydrodynamic loading and member mass
- Topside modifications and added weight changing the original load path
- Structures operating beyond original design life
- Inspection cost and personnel exposure offshore
StructIQ approach
Monitoring is targeted at members whose failure would matter, and interpreted against structural models so that offshore inspection effort is directed rather than uniform.
