The client approached A Squared for our expertise in complex structural design and use of advanced numerical analysis.
A subsea drilling template required Energy Chains to run up and down the tower to manage power and hydraulics to the drill tables. The Energy Chains required a steel housing. Principal requirements:
Following the concept development and analysis, the client required detailed fabrication drawings to proceed with construction.
The solution had to be as light as possible whilst maintaining stiffness under wave action to minimise deflection under operational conditions.
A general concept was developed to allow waves to pass through the structure, whilst maintaining adequate stiffness against wave particle velocity to provide guidance for the Energy Chains.
Voe Marine (our strategic partner) took the A Squared analysis and developed the concept into fabrication drawings before fabricating the structures.
A Squared provided a one-stop-shop for the client.
We developed a robustly engineered design using our advanced numerical analysis capabilities before delivering a finished product to the client.
A Squared delivers engineering to be proud of in a range of areas across the offshore, oil and gas, marine renewable and commercial marine sectors. We specialise in structural design and analysis and naval architecture.
