Applied Learning: Navigating Real-Life Scenarios with Expert Guidance

Delve into practical learning with our tutor, who guides participants through diverse worked examples and exercises, illustrating their direct application to real-life scenarios. This hands-on approach ensures delegates not only understand theoretical concepts but can also effectively apply them in the complexities of their professional roles. Studying with us offers a unique opportunity to explore and hone practical skills under the expert guidance of our tutor, fostering a comprehensive understanding that is immediately transferable to real-world challenges.

Module Highlights

Day 1 - An Exploration of Transportation, Load Dynamics, and Subsea Lifting

Navigate through load-out processes, transportation logistics, offshore lifting procedures, and the subsequent landing, levelling, and anchoring operations. The course delves into the realm of static and dynamic loads, covering the effects of both, vessel motions, relevant software applications, and dynamic analysis, illustrated through practical worked examples. The lifting of subsea structures module explores environmental loads, detailing lifting scenarios in air, through the wave zone, and lowering through the water column, providing participants with a nuanced understanding through practical worked examples.

Day 2 – Rigging Design, Analysis, and Spreader Beam Design

Embark on a thorough exploration of critical modules, beginning with rigging design and analysis. Delve into the intricacies of rigging configurations, examining the role of wires, slings, strops, and shackles. The module extends to rigging analysis, code requirements, equipment selection, and practical application through a detailed worked example. Progressing further, immerse yourself in spreader beam design, where the steelwork design process, visualisation techniques, and adherence to design codes take centre stage. Engage in combined load checks, explore various spreader beam configurations, and solidify your understanding through a practical worked example.

Day 3 – Lifting Points, Lugs, and Ingenious Deck Layouts in Maritime Operations

Embark on a comprehensive exploration of essential modules, commencing with 'Lifting Points and Lugs.' Delve into the intricacies of lugs and stiffeners, unravelling failure modes, design requirements, and an in-depth exploration of relevant codes and standards. The journey continues with 'Deck Layouts and Sea-Fastenings,' where participants navigate through transportation loads, deck layouts, sea-fastening configurations, and considerations in design. The module concludes with an exploration of foundations and deck fixings, providing a nuanced understanding through a practical worked example.
