Statoil LNG Plant, Norway
The construction of a new LNG plant is situated
on an island near Hammerfest, Norway. The
steel structures are fabricated by Iemants (B)
and assembled on their site in Hoboken. The
installations are almost finished, i.e. with
cladding, piping, electricity supplies, with all
cables etc.
The different modules are put on the ship and
transported to the plant, where they are fitted in
the entity.
Important in the way of fabrication is the han-
dling of the structures (lifting, shifting, moving
…) and the transport on sea (with horizontal
acceleration forces).
We used ESA-Prima Win to create models of the
several modules, included piping. The modules
are submitted to a transportation load. This
includes their fixing on the ship and the model-
ling of the effects of the waves while transport-
ing on sea. These loads are translated to hori-
zontal components of the dead load (such as in
earthquake calculations).
SBE also made the execution drawings (for
about 4000 tons), from which for +/- 2000 tons
transportation and detailed studies were made.
