MONITORING COMMISSIONS
Designed for initial use in the Nansen field in the East Breaks
area of the Gulf of Mexico, the Fugro system was required to
monitor the relative motions and displacements during the
lifting of the Nansen deck on to the newly developed truss spar.
A dual crane lift was identified as necessary to place the deck
and derrick barges DB50 and 101 were selected to conduct the
dual lift. The barges cranes, the deck and the platform deck
were all instrumented to measure boom relative heights, deck
motions, dynamic loads in each crane and cross angles, along
with vessel draught and current to ensure a successful lift.
Following success in the Nansen field, J Ray McDermott then
commissioned Fugro to perform a similar service on the
Medusa and Devils Tower installations.
Single crane barges are also used by J Ray McDermott to
compete alongside dual crane vessels such as the Saipem 7000
and the Heerema Balder. The Fugro crane lift monitoring system
forms a crucial safety tool in these operations.

CONTRACT NEWS
The soil conditions are very soft and evidence of previous slope
instability abound in some areas. Fugro has assisted with flowline routing to avoid the principal geotechnical hazards and has
developed a method for assessing the risk of slope instability
by considering the movement that could occur in a slope
during an earthquake.
