The Buoyancy Assembly for Decommissioning and Marine Salvage (BADAMS) offers an economically viable solution for the removal and disposal of offshore platforms. Utilizing modular cylindrical buoyancy devices and an Offshore Flexible Buoyancy Tank (OFBT), BADAMS enables the floating, upending, moving, and lowering of tubular jackets. The approach includes in-situ upending work, non-metallic pressure-containment tanks, and reusable fastening mechanisms, enhancing cost-efficiency and flexibility. This innovative method addresses the high costs and logistical challenges of platform demobilization, providing a practical and sustainable solution for the decommissioning and salvage of offshore structures.
