Strainstall, a James Fisher and Sons plc subsidiary, has been awarded a contract to provide Total with an integrated marine management system (IMMS) for the Moho Nord tension leg platform for installation off Congo, West Africa. Strainstall will provide Total with a comprehensive mooring monitoring solution through a contract placed by Hyundai Heavy Industries.
“With offshore structures becoming larger and more complex, effective monitoring is increasingly critical to these high value oil and gas assets. The information the system gathers is essential to enable certain operations, such as drilling, to proceed safely," commented James Fisher and Sons plc CEO Nick Henry.
Strainstall's IMMS is designed to provide an integrated monitoring and control system for both fixed and floating offshore structures. Customized to the individual requirements of each installation, it provides the operator with data and reporting from a number of parameters on the hull. Features include tendon data that incorporates load and bending moments, reports on the height of the deck above the sea surface and wave condition, permanent and temporary ballast tank levels, and reporting on a number of meteorological conditions including wind speed direction, air temperature and pressure. This approach allows full visibility and control during installation and simplified topside connection to provide an integrated solution.
