Floating Offshore Wind Lay Spread

Client: An EPC Contractor

A Squared Case Study: An EPC Contractor

The challenge

The client approached A Squared because of our engineering competencies and our ability to apply critical thought to complex engineering challenges.

The client was conducting a major vessel upgrade, which involved the design and Engineering for FEED design of a cable lay spread for floating offshore wind to meet agreed client specification and designed in accordance with DNVGL-RP-0232.

This was a complex challenge requiring due cognisance of product bend radii during transit form cable tank to stern chute, including roller selection and placement to ensure smooth transit of the cables during lay operations.

 

The A-Squared Solution

A Squared delivered a complete design package:

  • 3d model detailing modular deck equipment including aft chute tower, deployable work table, cable pathway bridge, tensioner interface frame and load arm.
  • FEED drawings detailing structural arrangement and vessel interfaces.
  • Supporting package calculations detailing quasistatic engineering analysis

Structures were modelled in 3d, and 2d fabrication outputs with a detailed bill of materials.

 

Benefit for Customer

A level of trust was established with the client that enabled A Squared to take ownership of the scope, with only light touch management from the client, which enabled them to deploy their internal resources to other project critical areas.
