We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Offshore Platforms",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release FEA software eases pipe design from
Algor, which we summarised at the time by saying "TTS purchased Algor FEA and PipePak piping design and analysis software in November 2005".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Results provided from remote locations from
SKF UK: "SKF Results Reporter provides information transparency to operators regardless of location and enables them to make better decisions and improve the reliability of process equipment".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Algor
- take a look at Simulation software goes on show
which says: "Algor is set to show how its finite element analysis (FEA) software can help companies virtually test and predict real-world behavior of new and existing product designs".
Take a look also at the news release from James Walker Rotabolt, Bolts monitor tension in the oilfields,
as well as Sensors cut the cost of marine tank monitoring from PSM Instrumentation,
and Switchgear suitable for use on and offshore from ABB Power Technologies.
