Abstract

Ramboll Oil and Gas are leading the field in the development of Structural Health Monitoring Systems (SHMS) for offshore structures. This paper outlines the State-of-the-Art process for predictive maintenance that Ramboll have developed and implemented for offshore structures. This system is one of the first, if not the only one, that creates a maintenance schedule based on knowledge of the structure’s current state.

The State-of-the-Art methods of today, as adopted by Ramboll, encompass advanced analysis methods ranging from linear and non-linear system identification, expansion processes, Bayesian FEM updating, wave load calibration, quantification of uncertainties from measured data, damage detection and structural re-assessment analysis to Risk- and Reliability-Based Inspection Planning (RBI) analysis.

The paper will be the first in a series of papers that will outline various promising methods contributing to an even better understanding of the issues at stake in the offshore structures context.
