Offshore Engineering

Home » Offshore Engineering

We offer comprehensive design solutions for fixed & floating offshore and onshore production systems for every phase of the project i.e. from feasibility study to operations, brownfield modifications, integrity management and decommissioning. All our work is backed by the extensive experience we have gained through multiple projects executed in Australia and across the world.

Fuelling energy operators and companies managing fixed and floating production systems, shipyards, and ship owners, we excel in following feature analyses, driving projects to new heights of efficiency and excellence.

Structural Engineering

    Conducting analyses for safe voyage planning and towing operations of marine structures.

  • Fire Loading Analysis:

    Assessing the effects of fire on structures to ensure fire safety measures are effective.

  • Sloshing Analysis:

    Studying the behaviour of liquids in tanks and containers to prevent slosh-induced structural problems.

  • Global and Local Static and Transient Buckling Analysis:

    Analyzing buckling behaviour and stability under static and transient conditions.

  • Life Extension, Retrofit, and Conversion Engineering:

    Extending the service life of structures, retrofitting for improved performance, and managing conversions to new functions.

  • Drydock Planning:

    Planning and coordinating drydock operations for maintenance, inspection, and repair of marine structures.

  • Onshore Equipment Retrofit and Conversion Studies:

    Finite Element structural studies as per industry standards for equipment foundation upgrade, retrofits or life extension.
