GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR PLANNING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF OFFSHORE PLATFORMS
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Offshore platforms are among the most significant and the tallest structures in the world which must operate reliably in a wide range of very challenging environments and have a large impact on the economy and industrial advancement of countries. It is very important to plan, design, construct and install such offshore structures correctly. The penalties for not doing so can be enormous in both environmental and economic terms. A general guide for offshore structures engineering is presented in this paper. Its purpose is to offer a universal vision template for the different phases of planning, design, construction, load-out, transportation and installation of these offshore structures. The paper covers mainly offshore template (jacket) platforms.
