Abstract

This paper presents the field measurement techniques and the major instruments used in the successful floatover installation of the Kenli 3-2 mega topsides in Bohai Bay on 5th January, 2014. The motion measurements of the T-Shaped floatover barge HYSY228 and the environmental field measurements, etc., were conducted to guide the entire floatover operation and also used to study the effect of the Tshaped barge hull and other influence factors. The field measurement data were processed instantaneously on site to obtain the real-time statistical results of the motion and the sea environments, and therefore ensuring the floatover operation to be performed as rapidly as possible and coincident with safe practice.
