BS’s Structural department is quite renowned for topside & substructure design as well as installation engineering.

Topside & Substructure Design

BS can offer experienced structural engineering services for topside and substructure designs for both the Oil & Gas and Renewables markets.

Building on years of experience, we ensure economic and innovative designs based on project and client requirements. We have designed offshore structures ranging from small 60mton subsea wellhead protection frames, to 400mton minimum facilities units up to the full size production/processing platforms and substations of over 6000mton.

BS’s capabilities and experience include the following substructure designs: monopiles, tripods, 3, 4 and 6 legged jackets, self-installing platforms with suction can foundations for production/processing platforms and foundations for transformer platforms and turbines.

The designs may cover all aspects of the pre-service conditions (e.g. lead-out, transport, lifting and installation), the in service conditions (e.g. in-place, fatigue, accidental) and the decommissioning phases (e.g. lifting, transport, loading).
