Scope and deliverables
Technical domains covered under this expertise hub—scoped by asset type, class context, and project stage.
Why floating infrastructure matters
Floating assets decouple certain location constraints but introduce coupled risks across stability, mooring, marine operations, and long-term maintainability. Technical clarity early reduces capital exposure at procurement and installation gates.
Technical challenges
Common challenges include environmental load definition, station-keeping assumptions, structural design basis alignment, installation sequencing, and operational limits that affect insurance and class acceptance.
Lifecycle risk
Lifecycle risk spans design, build, operate, maintain, modify, and decommission. Advisory work identifies where decisions made early constrain later OPEX, inspection access, or modification feasibility.
Interface management
Floating programs fail silently at hull–mooring–topsides–installation interfaces. Structured interface maps and decision ownership reduce float erosion and late change cost.
