Harsh environment’ often means ‘ice’. The IMPaC team consists of highly qualitified specialists with many years of experience in ice technology and research. Theoretical models and programs for the prediction of ice loads and the response of offshore structures have been developed, model tests have been carried out for comparison and in-situ measurements have been made for verification.

Special IMPaC design features such as ice barrier systems have been developed. Detailed experience has been gathered in more than 30 projects. R&D programs and close cooperation with universities and institutes assure continuous update of front end knowledge.
