Offshore Structure Design, Maintenance and Integrity Assessment

Introduction

This Offshore Structure Design, Construction & Maintenance 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 course will feature:

  • Case studies on the petroleum industry
  • Codes and standards with technical practice
  • The new trend of the integrity management system
  • The engineering and pitfalls in construction
  • The pushover structure analysis technique
  • ROV under-water inspection and CP system design

Objectives

    By the end of this training course, the participants will be familiar with:

    • Offshore steel structure design overview
    • Offshore structure platform
    • The loads applied on offshore structure platform
    • The modern technique on the risk-based inspection for a 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

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practices. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?
