From our own model. New steel in orange.
Problem

Through-thickness corrosion at both connection zones had restricted the stair to emergency use. Welding offshore was not permitted.

What came in

Inspection data: UT readings, visual inspection and MPI results.

What we did

Assessed the degraded section from the inspection data, compared three repair options, and checked the existing and new members to AISC 360-22. The chosen repair is a bolted supplementary member, with all welding done onshore.

What went out

A concept and options report, a calculation sheet, fabrication drawings and a 3D model of the repair.

Codes

AISC 360-22, ISO 19902, ISO 19901-3, BS EN 1090-2.

Our part

Scope, condition assessment, options, calculations, model and detail design.
