Dynamic Design of the Foundation of Reciprocating Machines for Offshore Installations in Persian Gulf
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The installation of large and heavy reciprocating machines on offshore constructions demands specific requirements in the design of the foundation with respect to vibrations. Because the use of those piston engines implies high dynamic loads at the substructure of offshore systems, special measures are required. This paper shows how problems can be avoided by applying a detailed vibration engineering design. An offshore project in the Persian Gulf involving the installation of three heavy reciprocating mud pumps is taken as an example. It is demonstrated how vibration engineering aspects can be considered within a project at the very beginning. The developed installation concept and its specific technical implementation at the construction are part of this paper.
