FLOAT-OVER HARDWARE TECHNICAL PRESENTATION

What is Float-Over Hardware Equipment?

Equipment that is used to facilitate topsides load transfer onto a substructure (fixed or floating)

Two Components:

• Leg Mating Unit (LMU)

• Energy absorbing unit located between topsides and substructure• Absorbs vertical loads from topsides weight and vertical and horizontal impact loads from float-over

installation• Usually remain within deck leg after installation and become part of permanent structure

• Deck Support Unit (DSU)

• Energy absorbing unit located between topsides and installation vessel• Main purpose it to protect topsides and installation vessel from high impact loads during separation

phase of float-over installation• DSUs are temporary and exit with the installation vessel and Deck Support Frame

LMU & DSU Designs

LMU Design with Sand Can – On Jacket

• LMU / Sand Can in Jacket Leg

• Only Stabbing Cone attached to Deck Leg

• Weather protection required for Sand Can

• Entire assembly can be installed offshore with a single lift

• LMU takes 100% of load through elastomer pads

• Required when jacket will be installed (up to a year before the float-over)

• Test loads obtained from current weight reports and final predictions

LMU Design with Sand Can – In Deck Leg

• LMU in Deck Leg

• Sand Can in Jacket Leg

• Locking device needed to restrain LMU

• Weather protection required for Sand Can

• LMU takes 100% of load through elastomer pads

• Required in fabrication yard near end of topsides fabrication

• Accurate deck weight for full scale testing

LMU Design without Sand Can – On Jacket• LMU installed in Jacket Leg

• Only Stabbing Cone attached to Deck Leg

• Weather protection required for LMU to prevent water ingress over extended period of time.

• Entire assembly can be installed offshore with a single lift

• LMU takes 50% - 80% of load through elastomer pads

• Required when jacket will be installed (up to a year before the float-over)

• Test loads obtained from current weight reports and final predictions

LMU Design without Sand Can – In Deck Leg

• LMU in Deck Leg

• Locking device needed to restrain LMU

• Only Stabbing Cone attached to the Jacket

• LMU takes 50% - 80% of load through elastomer pads

• Remaining load is taken through Deck Leg / Jacket Leg

• Required in fabrication yard near end of topsides fabrication

• Accurate deck weight for full scale testing

DSU Designs

• Sliding Surface – No elastomers

• Locking ring is effective sea fastening during transportation and prevents sliding/uplift during transport

• Plates designed to withstand offset loading condition

• No Sliding Surface – Elastomer Unit

• Functions similar to an LMU but no stabbing cone required

• Primary function is to mitigate impact loading between installation vessel/barge and topsides during separation phase of float-over

• Sliding Surface and Elastomer Unit

• Provides features of both DSU designs

• More complicated and costly

Contract Execution

Project Execution

General Scope of Work – 3 Stage Process

1. Early Stage (FEED/Pre-FEED)

• OME Calculations• General budget price

2. Formal Bid Stage

• Client has project and is soliciting bids for float-over hardware• OKI refines design and submits final proposal

3. Contract Award

• Project management• Detailed design using FEA to client satisfaction• Procurement of materials – steel plate, raw rubber, etc.• Logistics – material transport & scheduling• Fabrication – WPS & PQR, machining, molds• In-house QA/QC & Document Control• Final assembly & testing

RFQ Requirements for an LMUA. Jacket Leg (Deck Leg) diameter and wall thickness

B. Required Upstand & Stroke (No Sand Can: Upstand = Stroke) and whether Sand Can is required or preferred

C. Watch Circle or Capture Radius

D. Receptor Depth and intended contact location

E. Overall height restriction in Jacket or Deck Leg

F. Stabbing Cone height

• Number of Units• Scope Definition• Relevant Standards• Functional Requirements

• Min and Max Vertical Loads• Lateral Load• Deflection Tolerance• DAF and Test Factor

• Steel and Fabrication Requirements• Delivery Terms

• Sample Float-Over Hardware Specification

RFQ Requirements for a DSU

A. DSF Leg and Deck Leg diameter and wall thickness

B. Required Stroke

C. Overall height restriction in Jacket or Deck Leg

D. Lateral Offset of Sliding Surface

• Number of Units• Scope Definition• Relevant Standards• Functional Requirements

• Min and Max Vertical Loads• Lateral Load• Deflection Tolerance• DAF and Test Factor

• Steel and Fabrication Requirements• Delivery Terms

• Loose vs. Tight Slot

Project Execution

• DESIGN

• Complete in-house design and analysis of LMUs, DSUs, Sand Cans, and Stabbing Cones• Creation of all drawings (GA, fabrication details, machine details, lifting arrangements, etc.• Review cycles with client to achieve final approval

• FABRICATION

• Performed by contracted fabrication facility• Ensure qualification and use of proper weld procedure, NDE procedures, dimensional controls, etc.• Complete trial fit of components

• TESTING

• All units provided are subjected to full scale testing in excess of design loads• Testing data is recorded and reported to client showing desired stiffness was achieved
