Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) Planning of
Offshore and Marine Facilities

The Oil and Gas offshore industry plays a critical role in driving the global economy.  Offshore and Marine Engineering projects are technically and commercially challenging. Good knowledge about inspection and maintenance of offshore platforms and competency of the project team members throughout the operation phase of projects are keys to the successful execution of these projects.

This GLOMACS training course aims to provide the participants with comprehensive knowledge of Offshore and marine facilities inspection and maintenance. As an offshore or marine engineer or manager, it is of paramount importance to have a clear understanding of the operation, inspection and maintenance requirements and techniques in the offshore, subsea and marine industries.

This GLOMACS training course will highlight:

• Inspection techniques for fixed offshore platforms
• Risk based inspection of fixed offshore structures
• Risk based inspection of floating offshore installations
• Inspection and maintenance of subsea systems
• Next Generation Subsea Inspection, Maintenance and Repair Operations
• Inspection of FPSO and FLNG

By the end of this GLOMACS training course, participants will learn:

• How to inspect above and below water offshore structures
• Risk based inspection of Hull Structures, Mooring Systems and Riser Systems
• Subsea inspection and maintenance techniques
• Codes, standards and regulations for inspection and operation of floating installations and FPSO and FLNG

This GlOMACS training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented including Course manual, PowerPoint presentations, Videos presentations, Competency assurance.

The daily seminars will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as hands-on exposure to techniques using examples from the offshore work place environment. Delegates are strongly encouraged to bring and share their own experiences, lessons learnt from the work domain. This adds greater relevancy to the content.

This GlOMACS training course will effectively impact the organization by increasing the service life of its offshore and marine facilities, reduce the maintenance and operations cost and minimize the Safety, Environmental and business risks. The training course will further consolidate the following:

• Requirements for inspection and maintenance of fixed and floating offshore installations
• Codes, standards and regulations for inspecting different offshore and marine facilities
• Subsea inspection, maintenance and risk assessment
• New technologies and future trends in the offshore and subsea inspection industry

• Upon successful completion of the training course, participants will be able to comprehend and effectively manage the challenges related to inspection of offshore and marine facilities
• The training course is very comprehensive and will address the inspection methodologies and risk based inspection for different types of offshore and marine faculties

This GLOMACS training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Offshore and marine engineers who want to expand their knowledge especially in the operation and inspection.
• Project engineers
• Operation and maintenance engineers and technicians
• Engineers from all disciplines who are new to the offshore industry
• Managers and executives who are new to the offshore inspection industry
