About the Course
Learn about transportation and installation processes in our specialised course. Gain detailed knowledge of load-out, transportation, offshore lifting, and anchoring procedures. Experience in-depth learning about static and dynamic loads, supported by software applications and dynamic analysis.
Explore rigging design and analysis, guided by relevant codes, and understand the steelwork design process for spreader beams, enhanced with visualisation techniques and practical examples. Learn about lifting points and lugs, with a focus on design requirements and standards. The course concludes with a thorough look into deck layouts and sea-fastenings, addressing transportation loads and design considerations through detailed worked examples.
