Offshore structures expert Naval Sondhi recently joined FoundOcean to lead its SMR design services division.
Jim Bell, FoundOcean Managing Director said, “Naval’s 30 years’ detailed knowledge of the design and analysis of strengthening, modification and repair systems for jackets marries perfectly with our current range of offshore construction services.”
With nearly 4,000 active oil and gas structures in the Gulf of Mexico alone, FoundOcean can only expect to see increasing numbers of assets in the waters aging, and requiring life extension solutions to keep them safely operating past their intended design life.
“ We are already bidding for SMR design work for operators with assets in India and the Gulf of Mexico,” said Sondhi . “FoundOcean’s excellent reputation as an innovative and safe offshore service provider gives us real credibility when talking with major international players.”
FoundOcean now offers both a full turnkey solution that includes structural analysis and repair design through to the offshore installation of the solution, or alternatively a pick-and-mix of analysis, design and installation services depending on specific project requirements.
FoundOcean will be at OTC 2014 in Houston, Texas where you can find out more about its wide range of SMR services.
