Offshore Energy

In the offshore oil and gas sector, we bring extensive experience and strong industry credentials in designing mooring and riser systems for floating production systems. Our capabilities include design verification, audits, metocean data interpretation, model testing, structural design, hydrodynamics, naval architecture, and system safety engineering. We also undertake complex failure investigations and provide expert witness services for engineering legal cases.

Concrete & Metal Structures

AMOG uses advanced structural analysis capabilities and leading edge materials corrosion knowledge to develop remediation and life extension schemes for degraded or aged steel reinforced concrete structures. This experience extends to the initial inspection and condition assessment of structures, determining rates of corrosion progression, analysis of residual strength, development of cathodic protection schemes, and development of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composite repair schemes.

Hull & Ship Structures

We understand the dynamics and environmental loadings in marine applications to conduct structural assessments of marine assets such as FPSOs and other general ship structures. Such assessments can be used to evaluate the structural integrity of the vessel and to support programs of life extension, optimise maintenance regimes, assess structural risk for extreme operating conditions or develop structural modifications to mitigate existing damage.

This expertise in hydrodynamics, advanced numerical analyses, and model testing, combined with our experience in offshore operations enables us to offer an efficient, accurate and reliable framework for the integrity management of whole subsea systems including mooring, riser, umbilical, hulls, and ancillary equipment.

The benefits of a whole system integrated management philosophy are:

Reduction in the Cost of Inspection and Maintenance
Optimisation of System Uptime and Reliability
Provide Framework for Implementation of Remedial Actions
Increase Confidence in System Integrity
