Steel Structure Detailing for Developing

an Offshore Oil Platform in USA
Case Study Highlights
Client Profile:
Industry:

Construction and Engineering

Organization

Location:

Texas, USA

Objective:
Efficient fabrication and installation of steel
structures for Development of Offshore Oil
Platforms
Challenges:
Every 5000 Pipe supports/Tray supports had its
=
specific coordinates for its position in main
platform. We received the main structure, a
TEKLA model from client. Major challenge was
to work for TEKLA modelling of each pipe/tray
supports as per the coordinates given in the
drawings with zero error. Any error could
directly affect the fabrication schedule of the
client.
=
The other major challenge for us and the client

was to maintain all welding and holes

standards of client into Tekla model for offshore
steel structure standards.

Accurate steel structural detailing allows efficient production

planning and erecting of all steel structures. Tekla structural
detailing has become popular and several steel structure erection
projects outsource these services to gain the maximum benefits.
The client approached Hi-Tech with a project for construction on
deep water gulf of Mexico, the one with 80,000-barrels-per-day
capacity - this offshore platform is the second in its category. Here,
10,000 ton topsides were being constructed.
The construction on the hull of the offshore is nearly complete at
the fabrication yard in Finland. Error free structural steel detailing,
part drawings and layout drawings had to be delivered to the client
as required across the project duration of eleven months.

The Solution
=
Initial agreement was to work on single part drawings for

each tray/pipe supports. Consistent submission of

performance part drawings of tray/pipe supports for 3 months
client provided us with the main structure Tekla Model. We
worked on the Tekla modelling of pipe/tray supports
incorporating it into the main Tekla model for given
coordinates.
=
Simultaneously, we provided solutions through TEKLA

modelling for stair towers, access platforms, chain guide, and

subsea distribution unit.

=
Maintaining the pace of deliverables with the

revision drawings supplied by clients. The

amount and frequency of receiving revised
drawings was very high which were required to
be submitted to client on time.
Solution:
Creation of layout drawings and structural steel
detailing for pipe and tray supports, main stair
towers. Chain guides, access platforms and subsea
distribution units.
Technology/Software Used: Tekla

Benefits
=
The layout drawings showed position of every single

pipe/tray member, while it was useful in locating each

tray/pipe supports.
=
The structural steel detailing helped fabricate, and install

steel structures as per the design in a smooth streamlined

fashion.
