Structural engineering
Comprehensive structural engineering services
We are experts in working on various developments, including greenfield offshore platform design and brownfield modification projects. We identify, design and engineer the most appropriate structural solutions, ensuring safe, cost-effective and efficient project delivery.
All engineering phases covered
We manage the entire engineering process, from concept identification and selection through to pre-FEED, FEED and detailed design delivery. We support efficient interdisciplinary engineering reviews, client technical authority interfaces and third-party verification requirements. Structural design follows the agreed project codes and standards, including API RP2A-WSD, AISC, DNV and NORSOK, as well as region– and client-specific project specifications.

Essential engineering analysis and tools
Utilising industry-leading analysis tools
We use STAAD Pro for various plant, water and civil project types while the SACS software suite enables efficient design of offshore structures, including fixed/floating platforms, wind turbine foundations, subsea installations and floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) topsides. Finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as ANSYS, NASTRAN and ABAQUS provide an in-depth understanding of local detailing, component and mechanism designs.
Essential design assessment
We conduct assessments to determine the performance of structural members and joints, ensuring optimal design arrangements to meet all project requirements,
- In-place
- Fatigue
- Seismic
- Pushover
- Vessel impact
- Foundation Design
- Lifting and installation
- Loadout and transportation
- On bottom stability
- Vortex induced vibration
- Local deck connections
- Dropped object
- Thermal expansion
- Cathodic protection
3D modelling and drafting
Using tools such as TEKLA and Inventor, we create accurate 3D models and develop 2D design drawings in AutoCAD. The 3D model is integrated into the multidisciplinary project information model for clash checking and swift issue resolution, enabling efficient and collaborative design and detailing of structural arrangements.
