Offshore Structure Design, Construction & Maintenance

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.
