Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our-state-of-the-art simulators. The aim of this course is to provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of offshore structure engineering in general and steel jackets (platforms) in particular. It will give a picture of the work of ocean and structural design engineers, using case studies to highlight the topics discussed. The course will cover the design, construction, inspection, maintenance and repair of offshore structures/platforms in accordance with API and ISO standards; discuss the various types of offshore structures including their advantages, disadvantages and design requirements; analysis of the ocean environment affecting offshore structures which includes wind, waves & environmental forces, currents, tides and storm surge; design criteria for steel jackets including simplified procedures suitable for the first stages of design of a small liftable jacket; the layout of jacket frame and other structural topics for jacket design; and the correct diameter, thickness and bending in member design, strength, approaches to fatigue in joint design and pile capacity of foundation piles.During the course, participants will be able to apply proper load-out, transportation, installation and commissioning methods related to offshore structures; execute proper launch of a steel tower; recognize and employ the standards and specification of risk assessment for offshore structure; practice the software available for use in jacket analysis and design; and employ sub-sea inspection, cathodic protection, corrosion allowance, flooded member detection and other surveys in protecting and maintaining the structure.Upon the successful completion of this course, the participant will have a satisfactory understanding of the planning, concept development, design, construction, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance of Offshore Structures.
