Crack in Florida bridge poses risk of ‘imminent collapse’

A part of the Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart is closed for repairs after a large crack appeared underneath causing a massive traffic jam. This situation could be easily avoided if there were a bridge structural health monitoring system installed.

Our range of offshore measurement services provides essential information for the implementation of cost-effective solutions, to enhance safety and extend the operating life of offshore structures. Our extensive experience in the offshore oil and gas industry allows us to provide accurate data interpretation, data analysis and subsequent results followed by practical solutions and recommendations. Our expertise extends to the installation of monitoring systems in hazardous area environments using intrinsically safe equipment. For operating requirements in the offshore industry, we provide fast and efficient services for prompt and accurate solutions to problems.

We collate, analyse, interpret, and report all the recorded subsea and topside data, tailored to your requirements including quality control and presentation of the data, fatigue calculations, or spectral and modal analysis of structural responses.

Structural monitoring systems for platforms and offshore infrastructure

Our MS Python Monitoring System provides a cost-effective means of monitoring the integrity of jacket structures for design verification, to evaluate the performance of the structures by comparing measured data with design. MS Python System measures the acceleration response of platforms and compares it to the wave motion. Significant damage can be identified by a change in natural frequencies exhibited by the platform.

The measurement of environmental and structural parameters for jack-up platform monitoring provides verification of the performance of the structures in extreme conditions and information on foundation conditions. To minimise downtime and enhance safety, it is also used to verify actual sea states and rig motions during jack up and jack down operations.

Construction support for offshore operations

Our range of structural measurement services support safe and efficient offshore construction operations combining the measurement of wave height, vessel motion, movement and stress and load transfer motion to allow safe and efficient offshore heavy lifts, pipelaying operations and tow and transportation of offshore infrastructure.

Construction support services include:

• Wave height measurements for accurate evaluation of the prevailing environment
• Vessel motion measurements to allow lifting and other construction operations to be carried out within safe limits, but with minimum downtime.
• Measurements of load transfer during jacking, module replacement.
• Motion monitoring during heavy lifts, tows etc. for safe operation and evaluation of loading.
• Measurement of movement and stresses in tendons, risers and other subsea equipment during and after installation.
