Engineering Services
VMi is able to perform structural analyses for system design, failure analyses, reversed engineering or fitness-for-service assessment purposes.
Typical studies include design of hull-line interfaces under combined tension, out-of-plane bending, in-plane bending fatigue, installation load analyses, impact occurrences, degraded components, etc. to ensure optimal performance during the service life of the structure.
VMi delivers quality Engineering Services to de Oil&Gas and Floating Wind industries, throughout the Mooring Integrity Management (MIM) lifecycle, i.e. from Design, Construction, Installation, in-service Inspection, and fitness-for-service or life extension assessments.
Management of ageing mooring systems becomes fundamental especially when assets approach their design lifetime. Degradation phenomena of certain parts above design criteria is not unusual, and it is important to identify, quantify and assess the condition of mooring systems to understand the risk of mooring failure.
We use state-of-the art inspection, lab testing, full-scale testing and software, to carry out comprehensive engineering studies to deliver expert judgment to allow our customers make appropriate decisions regarding life completion, life extension, or need for intervention.
