Weight Engineering

OE Qorban consult weight engineering experience comprises of weight estimation and weight monitoring, which are both essential for floating production units, topsides, modularised units and modification projects.
Weights and their distribution need to be carefully monitored to avoid stability problems and over utilisation.
Excellent weight monitoring of a facility during design phase to keep track  weights and centre of gravity (CoG) of topsides and distribution as the project concept materialises into specifications safeguards budget overruns and time delays.

Our Weight Engineering Services

  • Monitoring of topsides weight in the design, fabrication, load-out, tow, launch, installation, displacement, ballasting, operational and decommissioning phases to prevent stability issues and over utilisation
  • On site weighing support for equipment vendor and modules fabricators in accordance to ISO-19901-5
  • Multi discipline weight& CoG reporting and cost estimation from concept through as-built project phases in accordance to ISO-19901-5
  • Build, administer and manage a tailor made weight management database in either Microsoft Access or MSql depending on the complexity and needs of the project and can be linked with common CADD software, to generate weight & COG  reports on different load conditions  for various oil and gas facility type at any stage of its life cycle. This provides our clients with real time data of the project modules weight & COG status
  • Project sensitivity studies and benchmark using our vast project experience database
  • Weight audit for ongoing projects
