Abstract

The offshore oil engineering jacket is a giant super-heavy steel frame structure with dimensions in the hundreds of meters. A high-precision free station control network is usually arranged around it to ensure construction accuracy. However, as the jacket is gradually assembled, its extreme weight will cause the widespread deformation of the surrounding ground surface, and each control point may be affected to varying degrees, resulting in the non-uniform deformation of the entire network. For adjustments of control networks in the subsequent phases, if the same starting point as the first phase is chosen without careful analysis, the starting points’ non-uniform deformation will degrade the whole network’s accuracy. Considering the particularities of the free station control network, this paper proposes an adjustment algorithm consisting of a three-step analytical method. Firstly, the initial coordinates of the points of the current phase are obtained through classical free network adjustment; second, stable and unstable points are identified via coordinate similarity transformation between the current and the first phase; and finally, quasi-stable adjustment is conducted. The experimental data analysis of a jacket control network shows that this method can effectively identify stable and unstable points, thereby ensuring construction accuracy and jacket stability.
