Course Summary

 

Offshore structural engineering is a specialised area that requires comprehensive knowledge and this course aims to offer candidates a full picture with up-to-date techniques when it comes to offshore structures including general and steel jackets. It looks at the wider view of the ocean and structural design. You will learn about different types of fixed offshore platform structures and understand designs and loading. The latest recommendations and techniques for analysing and maintaining the structure are included as well as the pushover structure analysis. 

 

 

It is vital that the best configuration and layout is selected in order to give the platform stability. We must also consider the construct and repair when it comes to existing and mature structures. The sections will cover underwater risk-based inspection and the latest methodology for this. Completion of this course will allow you to demonstrate a good understanding of the design, construction and risk-based maintenance of all offshore platforms. All required standards and codes are included.

To be able to demonstrate an understanding of all aspects of offshore structures including planning, concept development, design, construction, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance 
To be able to show understanding of the use of current, applicable engineering methods in the design of the fixed offshore platform
To be able to demonstrate the steps of fabrication/construction and the ways to control these steps
To be able to show a good understanding of the design, construction and risk-based maintenance of offshore platforms, including theory and process 
To be able to determine new technology for the material of surface and subsurface structures
To be able to show familiarity with the most updated inspection/maintenance/loads applied for the offshore structures
To be able to know the different types of offshore structures including advantages/disadvantages/design requirements
To be able to demonstrate the capability to recognise inspection codes and assess an existing offshore structure platform
To be able to identify types of preventive/recommended practices for maintenance in offshore structures
Design structural engineers
Supervision engineers

Project Managers from oil & gas, construction, design and installation Companies and Regulatory Authorities
Anyone moving into offshore structural engineering
Anyone with responsibilities that include offshore structures

 

Teaching takes place in a variety of settings including face to face in a classroom environment and will ensure that participants can expand their knowledge of the subject and increase their skill set. The course is delivered via various methods by a specialist tutor. This will include PowerPoint presentations, reviewing articles and other relevant materials, group or individual exercises and discussions. There may be some independent work set, and the course will involve a requirement to submit articles to demonstrate understanding and an end of course test. Note-taking is encouraged, and you are welcome to use electronic devices to do this.

 

 

The course manual will form part of the learning but give you references for the future. You are encouraged to ask questions and, if needed, spend time one to one with your tutor to go over any issues. During your time in the classroom, you will be able to network with peers in similar roles.
