The Axis team has a long track record of success in the provision of project management and fully engineered mooring & foundation solutions, from determination of the design loads (by sophisticated computer simulation) through the analysis and detailed design of the mooring/foundations to provision of installation procedures and installation supervision.
Not only does our expertise ensure that the mooring/foundation solutions identified are technically competent, but, by tailoring the system to suit given installation vessel capabilities and other constraints, we provide commercially sound solutions that help maximise our customers’ return on their investment.
Axis’s main areas of specialisation are:
- Engineering & Project Management Support to the Floating Production Industry
- Engineering Support to the Offshore Decommissioning Sector
- Engineering Support to the Offshore Renewable Energy Industry
- Engineering Support to the Offshore Construction Industry.
This is combined with engineering design and analysis capability in:
- Mooring systems and foundations
- Vessel and platform modifications
- Structural engineering and naval architecture
- Complex FE analysis
- Submarine pipelines, flowlines and risers
- Subsea structures
Engineering & Project Management Support to the Floating Production Industry
Axis is a highly qualified and experienced team of engineers and project managers providing services to the floating production industry from concept development, through FEED and detailed engineering to project delivery.
- Provision of FPSO and FSO mooring systems and foundations
- Tanker, FPSO or FSO conversion project management and engineering
- Provision of extended well test export systems
- Deepwater installation engineering solutions
Engineering Support to the Offshore Decommissioning Sector
By leveraging the knowledge and experience of its team, it is Axis’s intention to provide specialist engineering services to major contractors who are involved in decommissioning projects and it is Axis's philosophy to work in a close relationship with its clients in order to achieve common objectives.
Engineering Support to the Offshore Renewable Energy Industry
Building on the Axis team’s long experience in providing mooring and foundation solutions to the offshore floating production and subsea industry, Axis aims to provide economical and well thought out mooring and foundation solutions for the offshore renewable energy sector.
The Axis team has experience in the design and analysis of foundations in a variety of seabed soils for diverse applications including:
- Drag embedment anchors
- Suction anchors
- Gravity base anchors
- Driven piled foundations – hammer or vibropile
- Drilled and grouted foundations
Axis is able to provide fully engineered solutions - from the determination of the design loads (by sophisticated computer simulation) through analysis and detailed design of the mooring/foundations to provision of engineered installation procedures and installation supervision.
Not only does our expertise in installation engineering ensure that the mooring/foundation solutions identified are technically competent, but, by tailoring the system to suit given installation vessel capabilities and any other constraints there may be, we provide commercially sound solutions that help maximise our customers’ return on their investment.
