EPICentre Seminars - Next Generation of Helidecks for Offshore Lighthouses

Offshore lighthouses are architectural masterpieces shining for more than two centuries in the British seas. They have been equipped with helidecks on their very top back in 70s to let maintenance staff and inspectors have easy and quick access. Even though these helidecks have maintained their integrity and are still functional in the offshore harsh environmental conditions thanks to frequent costly inspections and repairs, it is known that the structural designs in 70s were not optimized due to lack of computational methods which are available today. Having powerful computational tools in hand and aiming at reducing the carbon footprint of these structures, we are an interdisciplinary team of researchers working closely with official authority and industrial partners, designing a new generation of light, robust and sustainable helidecks for offshore lighthouses.
