Consultants in :
Back Analysis :
Riser monitoring systems and “Back Analysis” of the measured data
Feedback of riser system performance data to update Design Procedures and hence optimise future system design.

System Layout and Optimisation using design optimisation tools developed in-house
Design of challenging shallow water systems and mid water arch sizing
Installation and retrieval of Flexibles
Riser System Global Analysis
Detailed benchmarking of system performance to account for revised loadings
Detailed FEA of pipe structure to account for contact or crush loads
Design of bend restrictors and dynamic bend stiffeners (manufactured by PPL)
Repair of flexible systems

Pipeline specialist engineering :
Span and On-bottom roughness of flowlines
Upheaval buckling in relation to crossing design
Buckling and ‘walking’ of Pipelines
2D-3D analysis of full flowlines in relation to spanning
Pipe-in-Pipe and bundle modelling
3D spool VIV (See VIV Analysis Section)

Detailed structural analysis :
Potential to extend or confirm the use of existing equipment and facilities by detailed analysis.
Potential to remove design conservatism by component level engineering.
Fully exploit the material properties and load paths within the components.
Ability to benchmark predicted model behaviour against real-life test results prior to field use encourages confidence in the prediction of the reliability of components analysed.
