Topside / Jacket Fabrication Works in Major Shipyards

Introduction

Fabrication and Load-out are two critical phases of any offshore development projects before the sail-away and offshore installation happens. This GLOMACS Topside / Jacket Fabrication Works in Major Shipyards training seminar aims to provide the participants with a comprehensive overview of Upstream Project Engineering, Fabrication, Erection, Assembly, Lifting, Load-out and Sea-Transportation.

With a good understanding of fabrication, load-out and transportation, the participants will be better prepared to function in the fabrication and construction department, as field and discipline engineers, project engineer, cost estimating engineers, fabrication contract admin executives, CSR, Construction supervisors, or fabrication planning engineer.

This GLOMACS training seminar will feature:

• Overview of field development planning (FDP) and project management
• Fabrication shop engineering and drawings
• Fabrication techniques
• Cutting and welding
• Blasting and painting
• Erection and assembly techniques
• Cranes and lifting techniques
• Load-out techniques, preparations and ballasting
• Sea-fastening engineering and implementation
• Overview of offshore transportation and marine vessels
• Post-fabrication activities

Objectives

By the end of this GLOMACS training seminar, participants will be able to:

• Understand what entails in Field Development Planning (FDP) and project management
• Understand how the fabrication shop drawings are generated in the fabrication yards
• Understand fabrication, cutting and welding, blasting and painting, erection and assembly techniques in the fabrication yards
• Understand the cranes and lifting techniques
• Understand Erection, Loadout techniques and sea-fastening implementation at Fabrication yards
• Understand the selection of the major support marine vessels and major installation equipment for offshore installation works
• Fully understand the structure and topsides installation techniques
• Fully understand what are involved in mobilisation of marine vessels, construction crew, marine crew and construction equipment

Training Methodology

Relevant international and typical client engineering standards will be referred to during this GLOMACS training seminar. Basic engineering formulas and calculations, flowcharts and diagrams will be used to illustrate the principles and steps required for each part of the work. Real-life project examples as well as video clips will be used to demonstrate the fabrication and load-out techniques and to aid the familiarisation and learning of the participants.
