Asset Integrity ManagementStructural Integrity Management

By applying detailed knowledge and experience, our

engineers accurately assess structural integrity and

overall safety standards. We combine a practical

approach with advanced analysis to find the best

solution, adapting to the changing requirements of

the asset as it ages. Through optimising inspection

strategies, programmes and plans, we achieve more

accurate and efficient utilisation of resources and spend.

Our services include linear and non-linear FE structural

analyses for all relevant conditions, such as static,

dynamic, fatigue, damage and hydrodynamic analysis.

We design and assess major and minor modifications

and upgrades on hulls, jackets and topsides. We also

offer solutions for lifetime extension and reliability-based

inspection planning.

We provide services on a project basis and under

framework agreements, ensuring flexibility for our

customers. Our specialist team has in-depth knowledge

of prevailing offshore standards and regulations, and we

employ leading industry-standard software packages

when performing calculations and analyses.

Understand behaviour, manage riskAll offshore assets operate in extreme and hostile

environments – our structural integrity management

group ensures you are fully informed on structural

integrity matters and have the insight to operate safely

and efficiently.

Aker Solutions AIM has a highly experienced team, made

up of some of the most talented integrity engineers in

the business, dedicated to offering structural analysis,

assessment and structural integrity management of

fixed jacket structures, hulls and topsides of either fixed

or floating assets.

Often at Technical Authority level with our client partners,

the team’s portfolio ranges from design and analysis of

new offshore structures, through to extending the lifecycle

of more mature assets. We work closely with our clients

providing and managing input to policy, verification

requirements, strategies and inspection programmes.

We utilise advanced analysis techniques and risk based

inspection planning in support of our service provision

to ensure that structural integrity is demonstrated,

monitored and improved, assuring continued safety and

efficient operability of the asset.

Structural integrity is the first safety barrier in managing hazards on any asset. Offshore structures are designed for a specific environment and type of operation. As conditions change during their lifetime, a continuous process of modification, maintenance and upgrade of the ageing structure is required.
