Course Introduction
This comprehensive 5-day training program equips engineers, inspectors, and maintenance professionals with the essential knowledge and practical skills to ensure the structural integrity of offshore facilities. Covering jacket platforms, subsea structures, FPSOs, and topsides, the course provides an in-depth understanding of deterioration mechanisms, inspection methods, repair planning, and integrity assessment frameworks in harsh marine environments. Special focus is given to international standards, risk-based approaches, and digital integrity monitoring tools.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the key structural components and loads acting on offshore assets
- Identify failure modes such as fatigue, corrosion, scour, and mechanical damage
- Conduct inspections using proven NDT and structural assessment tools
- Develop effective maintenance and repair strategies for marine structures
- Apply international codes such as API RP 2A, ISO 19901, and DNV standards
-
Utilize risk-based integrity management and digital monitoring systems
