Testing of safety net in water
Analyze the performance and effectiveness of safety nets with AquaSim. With time-domain analyses you get insight into impact forces, energy absorption and possible weak spots. The gravitational potential energy of a falling object increases with the drop distance. As the object comes in contact with the net, the impact force is transferred through the net to surrounding structure. With AquaSim you can simulate contact forces in the net and investigate structural capacity of the surrounding structure.
Directed fall
A safety net is a tube-shaped structure suspended in the air to capture, guide, and protect falling objects. Positioned around high-risk areas, it prevents dropped equipment, tools, or debris from reaching the ground, reducing the risk of injury or damage. The net’s tubular shape directs objects along a controlled path, limiting bouncing and keeping them within a designated area.
This design is essential in high-risk environments, where it provides a secure containment system for falling items, protecting both personnel and surrounding equipment. The net’s dual role as a barrier and guide ensures a safer workspace, minimizing the impact of accidents on nearby operations.
Analysis of safety net in floater
Analysis of floater and safety net for safety under crane operations at platform. Investigations of interaction between floater and critical components in the platforms splash zone such at risers and umbilicals. Floater is kept in position by vessel and single point mooring.
Analysis of safety net guarding gangway
Analysis of safety net in rig with the objective to shelter a walkway. The initial shock of the impact is dampend out by flexible wires and rotational mass.
