Platform dimensions
Study length, breadth, depth and deck space in relation to the operating task.
DESAIL design capability
Platform concepts shaped around the task.
Our engineers use parametric modelling to bring platform dimensions, accommodation and equipment together in a coherent design concept.
It is one of the tools we use to produce models, renders and drawings efficiently, and compare the cost implications of design changes.

Parametric platform development
Develop the arrangement around the requirement.
A platform concept brings many decisions together. Parametric modelling helps our design team study how the principal dimensions, spaces and selected equipment relate to one another.
Operating conditions
Consider water depth, air gap and leg dimensions in the initial self-elevating platform concept.
Accommodation & working space
Bring accommodation requirements, living spaces and the working deck into the general arrangement.
Equipment configuration
Represent selected equipment such as cranes, a helideck and lifeboats within the concept.
From design to cost review
Develop faster. Compare the choices.
Our team can explore how changes in size, form and material needs affect the platform and its indicative price, helping the project move forward with a clearer basis for decisions.
3D models, renders & CAD drawings
Quickly develop the platform form, rendered views and CAD drawings to support concept discussions and further design.
Dimensions, form & material needs
Study alternatives in size and form, and compare how design changes affect material requirements.
Preliminary cost & price comparison
Use early estimates to compare costs and indicative prices across alternatives, making the price implications of design choices clearer.
A closer look
One platform concept. Several useful views.
Explore renders and selected CAD drawing previews from one illustrative self-elevating platform concept. The views show its form, deck arrangement and equipment in context.

From brief to concept
Engineering led by the operating task.
- 01
Define the task
Establish the intended operation, site conditions, space requirements and principal equipment.
- 02
Develop the concept
DESAIL engineers use parametric modelling to develop the platform dimensions and general arrangement.
- 03
Discuss & refine
Use model views to communicate the proposal, discuss adjustments and define the next engineering steps.
