Date of Summary | March 31, 1994 |
Subject | Hurricane Andrew Calibration Study |
Performing Activity | PMB Engineering, Inc. |
Principal Investigator | Mr. Frank J. Puskar |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | Complete |
Description | This is a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to collect information gained from platform failures and survivals during Hurricane Andrew and develop a database for the future management of existing platforms. The Minerals Management Service, through its Platform Verification Program, is responsible for a wide variety of functions related to the strength and integrity of offshore platforms. This project incorporates a `calibration` task that utilizes the outcome of Hurricane Andrew (survived, damaged, or failed platforms) to update and adjust where necessary current practices for assessing in-place offshore platforms. This calibrated approach could become part of a future American Petroleum Institute RP2A recommendation for assessing existing offshore platforms. |
