How can we support?
At KCI Offshore Engineering, we provide proven structural and consultancy expertise to ensure the safe, efficient removal or repurposing of offshore assets. Leveraging decades of experience in both the design and assessment of offshore structures, we guide operators through every stage of the decommissioning life cycle: from feasibility and risk assessments to detailed engineering for lift, transport and dismantling. By blending deep structural insight with practical operational know-how, we deliver solutions that work in the real world. Our alternative verification techniques for critical, complex details, coupled with streamlined Marine Warranty Surveyor (MWS) approvals, minimise offshore exposure while maximising safety, efficiency and cost control.
We support you through:
- Decommissioning concept development
- Comparative removal method studies
- Lift and transport engineering
- Structural reassessment and cut-point optimization
- Temporary structures and rigging design
- Life extension assessments for re-use or repurposing
- Regulatory and technical documentation support
- Consultancy and owner’s engineering during planning and execution
