Structural Engineering and Asset Integrity

Genesis is an industry leader in providing structural engineering services for concept studies, pre-FEED, FEED and EPCI of offshore fixed and floating platforms. We also provide support for asset integrity of offshore platforms.

Our fixed and floating platforms structural design and analysis service includes:

• Scantling design for hull structures including Floating Production Storage and Offloading units (FPSOs), spars, semi-submersibles, and Tension Leg Platforms (TLPs) 

• Conceptual design to detail engineering of offshore fixed platforms including jackets, jack-ups, pile foundations and tower platforms  

• Topsides design for offshore shallow and deep-water platforms including FPSOs, semi-submersibles, spars, and TLPs, as well as gravity based structures and fixed platforms 

• Global/local strength and buckling analysis 

• Time domain and spectral fatigue analysis 

• Lifting, load-out and transportation analysis 

• Topsides floatover design 

• Fabrication, transportation and installation support 

• Evaluation of damaged and corroded structures 

• Brownfield engineering support and Engineering Criticality Assessments (ECA) 

• Structural integrity assessment of offshore platforms for pre-service and in-service conditions 

• Offshore modules and bridges  

• Weight estimating, management and control 

• Decommissioning studies – extent and methods of platform removal.

Advanced structural analysis:

• Seismic analysis – Extreme Level Earthquake (ELE) and non-linear dynamic Abnormal Level Earthquake (ALE)  

• Non-linear pushover analysis 

• Advanced non-linear analysis for collision, dropped object and wave slamming 

• Structural fire analysis  

• Dynamic analysis for Ductility Level Blast (DLB) and Collapse Level Blast (CLB). 

Asset integrity:

• Visual surveys and inspections 

• Structural information monitoring (displacements, accelerations) 

• Life extension evaluations 

• Inspection plan elaboration.
