Floatover Hardware:

Offshore Kinematics provides the engineering, design, testing and supply for all required floatover hardware:

  • Leg Mating Units:
  • Deck Support Units
  • Lower Systems
  • Fendering Systems &
  • Stoppers
  • Motion Suppression Systems

Engineering is conducted with advanced FEA and testing is performed on both components and full assemblies to assure performance in the field.

Floatover Methods:

Offshore Kinematics and Dockwise provide services to cover the full range of Floatover projects:

  • Standard Floatover: A single vessel is used to float through the legs of a jacket with an upper limit of 35,000 MT while keeping leg spacing within 50 m. Higher weight is possible with greater deck spacing. more..,
  • Pontoon Method: A deck can be floated over without significant impact to deck steel while still leaving a lift as an option. more...
  • Catamaran Method: Transported on a single Heavy Lift Vessel, a heavy deck from 10,000 MT to beyond 40,000 MT, is then transferred on site to dual HTV ships for floatover. more...
  • Friction Fender: The system is employed to reduce relative motions of surge, sway, and heave to allow floatover outside of the installation season. more...

Floatover is an increasingly popular installation method due to schedule, price, risk, and other reasons. more...
