Orca Offshore has been made finalists for the upcoming Bentley “Be Inspired” awards category Innovation in Offshore engineering – part of “The Year In Infrastructure 2014 conference”.
The nomination for this prestigious award comes from the work performed for the Centrica F3-Fa self installing platform.
For this project Orca Offshore performed transport and installation analyses for GBP 200 million self-installing gas platform in the Dutch North Sea. The F3-FA platform has a suction pile foundation resting on a temporary barge for transportation.
It can be relocated, providing significant cost savings across three to four fields. Orca’s scope of work included motion and stability analysis, multi-body dynamic analysis, structural spectral analysis, and scale model tests.
