Challenge

Develop SACS model of the topside units and carry out further engineering. Conduct topside process unit pipe support stress analysis. 

Scope

Our scope of work was to

  • Evaluate the various combinations of the complex loads to establish a safe environment.
  • Primary and Secondary structures design & analysis as per codes
  • LRFD / WSD / Limit State design methods
  • Structure modelling and analysis
  • Conduct in-place, installation and fatigue analysis
  • Simulating environmental load, local loads, internal fluid loads

Analyse structure for worst condition and check for hot spots or high stress zone, Design modification and iteration for weight & material optimization, and Fatigue Check
