Typical Analysis Results
• Applying mathematical representation of Smart-Shim within FE model
Smart-Shim
Prescribe the Tonic
• Develop design of clamp for lower glycol line connection
• Determine feasibility of introduction of flexible line into glycol injection system
• Develop methodology for, and implement, shimming remainder of conductors at +10m level and prioritise installation
• Complete installation of shims to all conductor guides at lower deck level
Let’s see this in practice ...
