PROJECT

YME FIELD – MOPU INSTALLATION PROJECT – 2008

CLIENTS

SCOPE OF WORK

Installation Design

  • Design the installation steps to assemble the MOPU (11785 T) to the gravity base
  • Simulation of the positionning of the MOPU above the base
  • Lowering of the legs into the sleeves

SPECIFICS

  • Time domain simulations
  • The tugs are modeled as independant bodies connected to the MOPU with towwing lines and anchored to the ground by mean of mooring lines
  • MOPU legs are connected to the sleeves by mean of non-linear gap connectors
  • Several stages are studied from approaching the sleeves to full insertion of the legs
