Fundamentals of Offshore Systems Design and Construction

Introduction

This course is intended to provide the fundamental principles and practices for the design and construction of offshore structures. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the problems involved, the content provides a solid foundation of fundamental principles of structures, fluid, and geomechanics, applied to offshore systems design and construction. At the end of each section, the theory covered in the course is explained by means of worked examples and tutorials. The main codes of practice, including API and DNV, are finally introduced and explained by means of worked examples and case studies.

Objectives

    This course is targeted at those individuals with a general engineering or scientific background and/or experience in offshore engineering and operations.

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 practice. 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?

This intensive course is of benefit to design engineers, contractors, project engineers, logistic managers, insurers, safety officers, working in the offshore industry, who wish to enhance their understanding of the fundamental principles of design and construction of offshore structures and their implications on the design practice.
