Support Structures
LICengineering has carried out detailed design of numerous support structures of various layout, including jackets, mono-piles, tripods and gravity based types of structures.

LICengineering designed 5+ foundations including subsea pile, monotower and in one case also the topside structure. The structures were installed by jack-up rig and supply vessel in combination. Right fotos from the top: 1) Monotower for marginal oil and gas field in the North Sea. Design of the tower by LICengineering. 2) Monopiles designed by LICengineering, stored on the yard. 3) Tow-out of LIC designed monotowers for offshore installation.
A Wide Range of Different Structures
LICengineering provides services related to support structures in the offshore oil and gas sector. The work includes the following examples:
- Detailed design of monopile and monotower structures for marginal platforms, 8 projects installed in Southern North Sea
- Detailed design of monopile bucket supported structure for marginal oil and gas platform, one installed in Southern North Sea
- Structural verification and re-analysis of existing jacket and tripod support structures
- Specialized analysis for jacket structures such as VIV response analysis, shielding analysis, impact/push-over analyses and scour protection design
- Generation of loads including stochastic methods in AWARE project
- Jacket and riser re-analysis with AWARE loads
- Floatstar, conceptual design of jacket tripod support structure with bucket foundation for float-out installation
