Naval Architecture
Complete capability in all aspects of Naval Architecture and global performance includes:- Configuration and sizing
- Weight control
- Stability analysis
- Wind load and current load calculation
- Motions analysis
- Mooring analysis for catenary, semi-taut, taut-leg and vertical moorings (tendons)
- Field support including incline experiments
- Installation
Full Naval Architecture capabilities for coupled, dynamic, time-domain analysis to account for the impact of mooring systems and riser systems on platform motion in ultra-deep water. Both in-place and pre-service conditions including loadout, transport, wet tow, and installation.
Unsurpassed track record on successful execution of model testing including specification, management, test support, and development of test correlation reports. Recent tests include TLPs, semi-submersibles, and SPARs in post-Katrina, Gulf of Mexico Central Region metocean environmental conditions. Tests completed in 2010 included Spar VIM, and semisubmersible and Spar wave basin global performance.
Software includes WAMIT, StabCAD, WINDDOS, DeepCAT, plus in-house utilities for post-processing and interface to structural design. Marine operations manual development.
