Installation Engineering

From Southeast Asia to South America, from the North Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, CTI has overseen installations around the world. We provide engineering services to support these installations, which include the following:

Static and Dynamic Pipe Lay
Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) Installation and Hand-Over
Flexible Riser and Umbilical Pull-in Analysis
Pipeline Repair System Design/Analysis
Structure Deployment
Rigid and Flexible Jumper Deployment
Repair Design/Analysis

Our teams work with our clients to develop a basis for designs and prepare technical specifications that define the expectations for the design work. We coordinate and support geophysical and geotechnical surveys, as well as metocean data collection of the project site. We also interface with the client’s operations team to create a field development plan which achieves the intended objective, considering existing and future field assets.

ENGINEERING IMPLEMENTS

Software is a vital part of developing effective solutions to today’s engineering challenges. Our team has access to leading industry software packages developed specifically for the design of pipelines and risers. In addition, we develop our own worksheets to perform standard code calculations for pre- and post-process evaluations.
