Case Study: Aker Solutions Malaysia strengthens Gina Krog platform resilience with Thornton Tomasetti

Aker Solutions Malaysia protects a $4.1B offshore platform with Thornton Tomasetti

Thornton Tomasetti was engaged by Aker Solutions Malaysia to protect the massive Gina Krog offshore production platform. The challenge was to ensure the structural safety and resilience of the $4.1-billion platform against diverse risks, including fire, blast, dropped objects, and ship impacts, to meet Norway's stringent safety standards and protect personnel.

Thornton Tomasetti implemented a comprehensive solution involving performance-based fire analysis, blast analysis, and computational fluid dynamics. Their work led to optimized passive fire protection, design revisions for strengthening critical structures like deck hatches, and a more cost-effective bridge design. As a result, Thornton Tomasetti ensured the platform's integrity for safe evacuation and prevented global structural collapse, safeguarding the major investment.
