Aker Solutions approached DeRegt with a rare challenge: supporting a floating tension leg platform (TLP) in the North Sea, connected by cables designed and installed more than 25 years ago, with no digital documentation remaining. Only a handful of physical samples still existed. Yet the system needed to stay safe, operational, and compliant with today’s standards.
Extreme depth, limited legacy data, and aging components created a situation where standard replacement or replication wasn’t possible. Instead, it required engineering reconstruction, deep material analysis, and close collaboration. To understand how this project unfolded, we spoke with Peter Brussee from DeRegt and Lenny Burnet from Aker Solutions.
