Offshore Structural Design: Jackets, Topsides and Mooring

Topside structural model - FEYANA

FEYANA designs and analyses complex offshore structures: jackets, topsides and mooring structures, from FEED to detailed design and fabrication/installation support.

← FEYANA structural engineering

What we design

Jackets - FEYANA

Jackets

Member and tubular joint layout, piles; strength, stability and joint fatigue checks.

Topsides - FEYANA

Topsides

Decks, equipment support frames and lift points, coordinated with equipment layout.

Mooring and floating structures - FEYANA

Mooring and floating structures

Mooring, barge stability and motion analysis in sea states.

Key analyses

AnalysisPurpose
In-place (operating, storm)Member and joint strength/stability under wave, wind, current and equipment loads
SeismicStructural response to earthquake loading as specified for the project
FatigueCumulative fatigue damage at tubular joints and weld details
Pile–soil interactionPile capacity and foundation displacement
Pre-serviceLoad-out, transportation, lifting and temporary stability
Existing structure assessmentRe-assessment for new loads or life extension within structural integrity management

Software and codes

Offshore structural analysis in SACS and SESAM; marine and stability analysis in MOSES and OrcaFlex; detailed FEA in ANSYS and ABAQUS. Design to API RP 2A, API RP 2SIM, AISC, DNV, ISO, ABS and project specifications.

Deliverables

  • Design basis and load register
  • Analysis models and calculation reports
  • Design drawings, fabrication drawings and MTO
  • Lifting, transportation and installation reports
  • Responses to third-party / class comments

Process

  1. Collect data and requirements – design basis, environmental data, equipment loads, specified codes.
  2. Preliminary design – structural concept, initial sizing, weight estimate.
  3. Detailed analysis – analysis models, load combinations, strength, stability and fatigue checks.
  4. Evaluation and optimisation – weight reduction, simpler fabrication, constructability.
  5. Drawings and reports – calculation reports, construction drawings and full specifications.

Every stage passes 2–3 levels of engineering checks before issue.
