The presentation will be made by Mike Hoyle of GL Noble Denton in London where he is currently Head of Advanced Engineering, having previously acted as Technical Authority for Engineering and Director of Engineering Services.
Mike is a graduate of Cambridge University and has been working in the offshore industry since 1977, with much of his time focussed on jack-ups. He undertook the Shell study in 1987/8 and was technical secretary to the JIP that developed SNAME T&RB5-5A. Since its inception, he has been convenor of ISO TC 67/SC 7/WG 7 which is responsible for the ISO 19905-series of standards for the site specific assessment of mobile units. He has been a member of the (GL) Noble Denton Technical Policy Board for many years and is currently its chairman.

The event presentation will following the OES AGM at 18:00hrs. Please note that the AGM is open to OES members only but refreshments are provided for non-members from 17:30hrs. The Jack-Up platform is a well-accepted and capable tool in the range of equipment available to in-shore and offshore engineering. Jack-ups are convenient as they can be mobilised to site on their own buoyant hull with the stability, once elevated, associated with a fixed platform.
The first documented jack-up platform use was in the re-construction of the Tay Bridge in 1882. Jack-ups have been used in offshore energy exploration since 1955 when the LeTourneau designed Scorpion first worked for Zapata and George Bush senior. There are now around 500 jack-ups operating in the offshore oil and gas arena and an increasing number being used for renewables installation (wind turbines, current turbines, etc.).
The first Class Rules were published by ABS in 1968 and the first IMO MODU code was published in 1980, by which time the various parties involved had developed or were developing their own individual approaches to the site specific assessment of jack-ups in the elevated operating condition. The diversity of approach was recognised by Shell who sponsored a study to understand the situation in 1987. Following this a JIP was initiated in 1988. This resulted in the publication of SNAME T&R Bulletin 5-5A (T&RB5-5A) in 1994. This was the first time that there was a single document that was considered to be (broadly) acceptable by all the main players.
Following the publication of T&RB5-5A, work continued to improve areas where it was known that further refinement was needed and also to advance the site assessment process, resulting in a number of technical advances, some of which were embodied in revisions to T&RB5-5A.
In 1996 a project was initiated to develop an ISO from T&RB5-5A, and after considerable effort, this was published as ISO 19905-1 in August 2012. The ISO embodies most of the accessible technical advances as well as many technical improvements.
This presentation will address the above with particular emphasis on the technical developments that have been incorporated in ISO 19905-1.
