Did you know that yearly about 14,000 bicycles are stolen in Norway? We hope our Clients will take action and put our ideas to the market! Our solutions for safer parking is stunningly flexible and are delivered in sheds with room for 2 bikes – you can connect as many as you want. You can even build 2 floors, with a lifting system that makes the bike feels like 1 kg when lifting it to the second floor.
Traditionally, pipe design and pipe stress are performed in two separate models. Ensuring that the two models are aligned is time-consuming.
Focus Techouse Engineering has made a tool to integrate design information between E3D and Caesar II, saving time, reducing the possibilities for errors, and freeing up the stress engineer to do actual stress design.
The Focus Techouse Engineering family has increased and yet another engineer has joined our team. We are happy to share that Thomas Reinsberg Bakkane has joined Focus Techouse Engineering as Senior Structural Analysis Engineer. Thomas has valuable experience as Structural Engineer and Project Manager in the offshore business.
Pipe Support structures are typically quite simple. However, what they may lack in complexity they more than make up for in quantity. For the Anna Nery FPSO, Focus Techouse Engineering recently designed seven topside modules, with a total of more than 7000 pipe support structures. Thanks to Focus Pipe Support Calculation program (FPSC), most of this was handled by our Pipe Support design team, freeing up time for our Structural Department.
Picture borrowed from amazon.com/bergen-industries-inc What can happen if we say: “Those instruments and lamps, we’ll just fix it later…” Only people who have no EIT (Electro, Instrument, Telecom) knowledge can have this attitude, and it is a serious pitfall for all engineering projects. It can result in a major cost overrun, delay in planning…
For the Anna Nery FPSO, Focus Techouse Engineering recently designed seven topside modules, with a total of more than 7000 pipe support structures. Thanks to our calculation program, Focus Pipe Support Calculation (FPSC), all of the design and calculations were performed with a team of no more than 12 designers.
At the beginning of the project, there is a battle for the available space on a module. All disciplines will have most of the available space and this space is very limited. In some cases, the module must be expanded to allow all disciplines to place their equipment, and if a discipline is excluded from this work process, we may end up with a module that is not large enough for the job for which it is intended. So, what can go wrong?
Focus Techouse Engineering designed seven topside modules recently. Our preferred tool for structural analysis is SAP2000, while the Client required STAAD.Pro. The quickest way for us to accomplish this was through an Excel macro. Learn more…
An engineering project is usually performed in 3 phases. The 3 phases are 30% – 60% and a 90% milestone reviews of the 3D model. These percentages (30% – 60%-90%) reflect a percentage of completed project, not a percentage of maturity of each discipline. For EIT’s part, we can say that we are usually about 30% finished when a 60% review is held, depending on how extensive the EIT contract is. So, what does this mean?

Mr. Hamedin became a permanent employee in Focus Techouse Engineering, Norway the 1st of August 2021, and we are very grateful to use his knowledge and experience in our further work.
We welcome Mr. Gajanan R. Gaikwad to Focus Techouse Engineering, Norway as Senior Pipe Stress Engineer! Mr. Gaikwad has been working in Focus Engineering, Norway as a hired consultant for 1 year, and will be a permanent employee from 1st of September 2021.
Focus Techouse Engineering has contributed with engineering work on regas modules for Wärtsilä for several years. Well-functioning digital collaboration platforms and regular project meetings are the foundation for successful projects, but the most important ingredient in a good collaboration is the relationship between the participants.
We have supplied all of our staff with comfortable and stylish face masks from Perma Nordic. Perma’s technology integrates Nano Zinc Oxide into the actual fabric fibers, making the Perma Mask permanently antimicrobial.
Together with our client, Aragon, we are honored to take part in this project and to participate in the “Anna Nery FPSO Project First Cut Ceremony”, a celebration of the first steel-cut of both the gas treatment & utility modules and compression modules. Watch video from the ceremony here.
Aragon has been awarded two contracts by the shipowner Yinson Production to design, procure and construct seven modules for gas treatment and compression for the FPSO «Anna Nery”, which will be put into operation offshore Brazil in 2023. The contracts have a total value of close to one billion Norwegian kroner and Aragon will deliver these seven modules during 2021. Aragon and Focus Techouse Engineering (former Focus Engineering)are collaborating as one team on the engineering work for the modules on the FPSO “Anna Nery” project.

Across the world, people are adjusting to a new reality due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Chinese operations have done a fantastic job during the epidemic and have stayed in operation apart for one week with a combination of home-based office and a positive can-do mindset. Their experiences are now an asset to our operation in Norway.
For the last three years, Focus Techouse Engineering has carried out a number of projects for Wärtsilä Gas Solutions. Mid-year 2019, the collaboration was formalized with the conclusion of a three-year framework agreement with an option for two more years.
Focus Techouse Engineering and Focus Construction have jointly developed a new type of filter that is used in service vessels and well-boats used in the aquaculture industry. The filters are produced at Focus Construction’s factory in Vietnam.
Focus Techouse Engineering has developed their own software for calculating pipe supports on process modules. The program calculations are carried out very efficiently to the benefit of Focus Engineering’s customers both in terms of time spent and project costs.
Once upon a time, there was a nonconforming sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter. However, soon the weather turned so cold that he reluctantly started southward. In a short time, ice began to form on his wings, and he fell to earth in a barnyard, almost frozen.
Focus Techouse Engineering was responsible for the detail design of all the process modules to be installed on the FPSO platform Dana Western Isles. The mission was to develop a cost efficient and weight-saving design, both critical factors in these types of projects.
