PROJECT
POLAR POD PROJECT – 2015 & 2023
SCOPE OF WORK
Basic Design Stage
- Checking structural integrity of the steel truss under extreme environmental loads and cyclic loads (fatigue)
- Vertical and horizontal positions are considered
Detail Engineering
- Upending and flip-back studies including real time ballasting phases
SPECIFICS
- The model contains both hull shape and trusses
- Hydrodynamic loads on the hull shapes (ballast and floater) are mapped to the structural nodes of the truss and are accounted for automatically in the stiffness analysis
- Ballast compartments are filled out and emptied using pumps and compressors
- Basic Design Studies done in partnership with MAREAL
