Review on Fixed and Floating Offshore Structures. Part II: Sustainable Design Approaches and Project Management

Offshore structures exist in a variety of forms, and they are used for functions varied sea depths. These tailored certain environments Different actions suitable equipment selection, platform type design, drilling/production processes required the applications these offshore structures, as given Part I. This paper is second part, which outlines various processes, loads, design approaches project management platforms. To achieve these, proper planning must be conducted lifting, transportation, installation, fabrication, commissioning Some historical developments some presented, routines undertaken this research. The ultimate goal to provide general overview many construction, loadout, installation. discussions on parameters such water depth environmental conditions were presented. It also lists software programs engineering designs covering structural analysis, 3D rendering, computer-aided (CAD), hydrodynamic oceanic flow mathematical modelling, coding/algorithm development software, programming aid analytical calculations. review includes information cutting-edge platforms industry advancements. Ultimately, long-term operations, types specific seawater depths available.
