This Offshore Structure Design, Construction & Maintenance online training course will review the fundamentals behind all types of fixed offshore structures and, in the case of fixed platforms, will cover applications of these principles. The overall objective is to provide participants with an understanding of the design, construction and risk based maintenance for offshore platforms, specifically, the theory and process of such design and the use of current applicable engineering methods in the design of fixed offshore platforms.
This training will feature:
- Case studies on petroleum industry
- Codes and standards with technical practice
- The new trend of integrity management system
- The engineering and pitfalls in construction
- The pushover structure analysis technique
- ROV under water inspection and CP system design
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Offshore steel structure design overview
- Offshore structure platform
- The loads applied on offshore structure platform
- The modern technique on the risk-based inspection for maintenance plan for fleet platforms
- The steps of fabrication and construction and the ways to control these steps
- The assessment of the existing offshore structure platform
- Design of CP system
