- Project description
- Rig Engineering (R.E.) was tasked by a leading drilling contractor to carry out strength verification of existing helideck located on jack-up drilling unit. The finding was used to guide
the wall thickness gauging technician to do a thickness evaluation and assess the overall integrity of the helideck ahead of class inspection.

- R.E. Scope of work
-
R.E. was tasked to perform the following engineering tasks:
Preparation of CAD layout looking at the physical effects of landing and takeoff and various aiming circle requirements etc. (for DNV and CAP 437)
• Conclusion of FEA model and do calibration run for current S61N set-up (for DNV).Re run analysis with new helicopter type using DNV class rule requirements.
• Re run analysis with new helicopter type using CAP 437 requirements.
• Re run on the final / agreed combination that would reflect operational requirements and some dispensation from either CAP 437 or DNV’s requirements.
