Project Number 229
Date of Summary March 31, 1997
Subject Hurricane Andrew Effects on Offshore Platforms (Phase II - JIP)
Performing Activity PMB Engineering, Inc.
Principal Investigator Mr. Daniel K. Dolan & Dr. Rajiv Aggarwal
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Complete
Description This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP). Phase I was a calibration task to study the effects of Hurricane Andrew on platforms (i.e. survived, damaged, or failed). The outcomes were used to update current practices for assessing the ability of in-place platforms to withstand hurricanes. This calibration approach became part of API's RP 2A standard for assessing existing offshore platforms.
