Gudrun
Conductor centralizer

Statoil (currently Equinor) was unable to find a device on the market that met the requirements of the technical conditions on the Gudrun platform, so they asked us to design a special centralizer for the riser column (conductor). In addition to a number of standard requirements, the device had to ensure the possibility of installation when the riser column was closed with a connection head.
The main task of the centralizer is to center the riser column with the axis of the borehole, to hold it stably in this position during the operation of the platform, and at the same time to enable movement along the borehole axis in order to compensate for movements caused by wind and sea waves.

Key features:
• Gutter column diameter: 30 inches (762 mm)
• Deck guide diameter: 1710 mm
• Adjustment range: 60 mm
• Side Load Resistance: 58.9 kN
