What We Do

We develop user and system

requirements, design, assess and

optimise solutions, analyse and assure

safety and performance, build

operational safety cases and plan for

through-life management

Define

our systems approach

ensures we define the

full context of our

Clients’ end goal and

hence develop effective

solutions

Understand

a comprehensive

capability to assess and

improve the fundamental

behaviour of engineering

equipment and systems

Integrate

the systems engineering

expertise to deliver

integrated solutions

across the full project

lifecycle

Assure

the stature to support

critical decisions on

safety, the environment

and business risk

“The system engineering approach that

we employ brings clarity to the

complexity faced by our clients. We

focus our capability across

engineering and science disciplines to

provide insight that gives our

customers a competitive edge”

Case Study: Subsea Sled Cooldown

(Isabela)

The Problem

Concern that fluid temperature in the flowline would fall

below hydrate formation temperature during shut-in.

Our Approach

Conjugate fluid-structural CFD model used to calculate cool

down time.

Greater fidelity (confidence) than solid FEA models.

Results

Initial build

40% of required cooldown time, majority of heat loss

through small number of paths.

Design Modifications

Resin collar inserted between pipework and collar.

Modest increase in insulation thickness.

Insulation extended along bulkhead support.

Final Assessment

Cooldown time requirement achieved (x2.5

improvement).

Case Study: Tidal turbine

The Problem

Concern that the high energy offshore environment,

imposing cyclic loading, would accelerate a fatigue mode of

failure.

Our Approach

Initial fatigue screening to identify critical areas.

Presentation of a range of design options to reduce fatigue.

Hand calculations, simple finite element models through to

complex FE models representative of the final design.

Design modifications.

Assessment to code (DNVGL-RP-0005).

Operational support (lifting and installation).

Results

Fatigue critical areas identified.

Localised design changes implemented to increase the

fatigue life.

DNV prototype Class approval achieved.

Conclusions and design features are being implemented on

the standard product design.
