Offshore Platform Protection

VizionZ Engineering provides a retro-fit system that improves and ensures the substructure stability under extreme loads in hurricane conditions. Jacket legs equipped with the system gain a significant increase in the allowable buckling stress. The system is configured to automatically switch on when extreme weather conditions are detected and ensure the strength and integrity of the jacket.
