A natural result of our deep knowledge of engineering for floating structures is innovation. Houston Offshore Engineering develops these ideas into practical technology available to industry for improved offshore development.
Our Paired-Column Semisubmersible is an excellent example. The Paired-Column Semisubmersible represents a simple upgrade to the conventional semisubmersible that results in a powerful new capability:
-
Dry tree support
-
Conventional riser tensioning equipment
-
Conventional hull structures
-
Quayside integration to minimize offshore construction
The above combination of functional capability has never been available for offshore developments, until now.
