INTEGRATED FIRE ANALYSIS: APPLICATION TO OFFSHORE CASES

This paper describes some benefits (technical or cost related) of using an integrated approach to assess the response of a structure to thermal loads. Three examples are described: 1) consequence of an accidental scenario on the living quarters in an offshore complex; 2) necessity for the reinforcement of a flareboom following a change in process; 3) evaluation of the amount of insulation needed for a topside process primary structure. The paper focuses on the importance for the operator to have a practical tool which can lead to substantial cost saving while reducing the uncertainty linked to safety issues.
