| Abstract: |
The initial offshore platform facility of the Johan Sverdrup oil field, currently being constructed off Norway’s coast, comprises four platforms which are connected by three bridges. Each bridge requires four bearings, two at each end. To ensure the ongoing proper functioning of these critical components, and the bridges they support, it was decided that a structural health monitoring (SHM) system should also be provided, with the bearings supplied with pre-integrated sensors to enable them to optimally supply the data required by the system. The design and supply of the specially designed bearings and the SHM system for this challenging application are described. |
