Galbraith, D N; Barnes, F

Preparation of the Safety Case for Mobil`s Beryl B platform indicated that 2 non-structural fire walls required to be converted to blast walls be able to withstand overpressures from hydrocarbon explosions. Mobil has adopted a novel and innovative reinforcement using high strength, high modulus carbon fibers. The background to the project is described, together with the selection of the solution, the properties of the composite materials and the derivation of the application process.
