East Coast Production Systems
There is a perception that concrete GBS’s or FPSO’s are the only feasible production options for the East Coast Offshore.
CJK ENGINEERING
What About Steel GBS Concepts?
Steel does not spring to mind when considering production concepts for the East Coast Offshore. Reasons for this may include:
- In the 1980’s, ice loads were thought to be extremely high. Concrete was
considered the best solution and FPSO’s were the only alternative.
- Unlike the concrete industry, there is no co-ordinated marketing effort
from steel fabricators to engineer and construct a steel GBS.
- A concrete GBS is thought to maximize the number of construction jobs.
CJK ENGINEERING
30 years of experience in the Beaufort Sea has demonstrated the competitive advantage of bottom-founded steel structures.
