We provide a wider range of training options. Tailored and customized, we can deliver your organisation’s training needs anytime, anywhere.
Why Choose this Training Course?
This training course provides the concepts for soil mechanics and the soil investigation tests on site as well as the borehole, standard penetration and cone penetration tests.
The tests will be illustrated through videos and technical practice for the solution of the soil with problems. The training course will then explore how the data obtained from the geotechnical investigation can be evaluated and defined.
The design of the offshore structure pile and the soil structure interaction will be defined in detail. The construction of offshore structure and specifically the pile will be discussed with the main problems. The derivability analysis will be covered during the training course and also the design of the mudmat. The pile capacity for aging structure will be addressed in the training course and also the scour problem and new ways to overcome it. The effects of the settlement on the facilities will be discussed during the course.
This training course will feature:
- Soil investigation for offshore structure
- The soil structure interaction for offshore platform
- The deliverability analysis for pile foundation
- Offshore pile capacity calculation
- Offshore pile construction
- Mudmat design and stability calculation
What are the Goals?
The training course will cover the techniques of soil test and geotechnical investigation in general, with specific focus on geotechnical investigation of offshore structures. It will also assist participants in defining scope of work for geotechnical study. The methods of laboratory and site tests will be presented during the course theoretically and through videos.
Who is this Training Course for?
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Structural Engineers
- Civil/Construction Engineers
- Project Engineers
- Engineering Managers
How will this Training Course be Presented?
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. The illustration will depend on videos and photos.
