LPA & COA Analysis Report
Prior to installing oil jackets at the predicted location, necessary analyses must be performed regarding the level and manner of penetration of rig legs into the seabed. For this purpose, leg penetration analysis (LPA) is performed. Baran Khak va Pey Consulting Engineers Company is one of the few companies providing LPA services in IR.Iran and relying on its technical capabilities and experience, it has successfully completed numerous projects.
The followings are examined in an LPA:
- Reviewing and interpreting the results of field and laboratory tests performed for each of the rig legs.
- Calibrating and filtering raw results, correlating them to enable extracting convergent parameters for each leg.
- Determining soil parameters for each leg based on the above-mentioned engineering services for use in leg penetration analysis.
- Performing leg penetration analysis (LPA).
- Compiling and presenting results report.
- Obtaining confirmation of location certificate (COA)
Baran Khak va Pey Company, in collaboration with reputable classification societies, is able to obtain and provide confirmation of location (COA) certificates and has cooperated with clients in numerous projects to advance project goals.
Here are a few examples of situations where Leg Penetration Analysis (LPA) may be used:
- Offshore oil drilling platforms: In order to safely drill for oil in offshore locations, LPA is performed to determine the required depth of the support legs to ensure stability of the platform.
- Nearshore wind turbine installations: In order to securely install wind turbines in nearshore locations, LPA is used to analyze soil properties and determine the depth to which the turbine support legs should be placed.
- Pile foundation design: LPA can also be used to design pile foundations for bridge and building constructions, determining the required penetration depth to ensure stability and support for the structure.
These are just a few examples, but LPA can be applied to many different types of offshore, nearshore and onshore structures that require stability and support from the underlying soil.
