Independent analysis of structures, installation systems and modifications under environmental, operational and accidental loading.
Offshore decisions combine structural analysis with the actual configuration, operating history and condition of the structure.
AeroMech can support jackets, jack-ups, lifting tools, monopile handling systems, vessel modifications, cable handling equipment, boat impact and lifetime extension.
The work can be a new analysis, an independent review of an existing model or a second opinion on the governing structural issue.
The images illustrate equipment types for which global behaviour, local strength and operational load paths can all matter.
Lifting arrangements, handling systems, temporary conditions and load transfer during installation.
Support structures, ring loading, local details, deformation and interaction with deck structures.
Heavy mechanical offshore equipment under operational, environmental and accidental loading.
A lifetime-extension assessment combines the original design basis with actual loading, modifications, corrosion, inspections and updated analysis.
AeroMech can also draw on aerospace experience in fatigue and damage tolerance. Crack-growth thinking, residual strength and inspection planning provide useful principles, while offshore-specific wave loading, corrosion and access limitations remain part of the assessment.
