The principles underlying all fixed offshore structure types will be reviewed in this course on offshore structure design, construction, and maintenance. Applications of these principles will also be covered in relation to fixed platforms. The major goal is to give participants a basic grasp of offshore platform design, construction, and risk-based maintenance. Specifically, participants will learn about the theory and process behind offshore platform design, as well as how modern engineering approaches are used to design fixed offshore platforms.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this training, 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
