The offshore environment places unique demands on the design and analysis of offshore structures; wave mechanics, corrosion, seabed geology, installation at sea and inspection offshore. The aim of this course is to provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of offshore structures engineering in general and steel jackets in particular, using case studies to highlight the topics discussed.
This course takes participants through the stages in the design of a fixed offshore structure. The impact of loadout, sea fastening and installation, upon the loads and thus the design explained. The selection of the proper configuration and layout of the platform will be illustrated, and how to perform a structural analysis upon this, including the pushover method. The construction and repair of the mature structure is covered, including under water inspection and the implementation of an offshore structural integrity management system.
The course typically takes place across 5 training days. All sessions will be live sessions with the instructor, and on each topic there will be an extensive workshop where participants will immediately put the skills they have learnt into practice with assistance of the instructor.
This training course is available as a company in-house training only; there is a choice between an online training or an onsite training. All training materials will be available through your EngineeringTrainer account.
After the course you maintain 1-year unlimited access to the course material. This allows you to perform modules again when you need to refresh the knowledge for your projects.
