  2. Tube and clamp scaffold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_and_clamp_scaffold

    This type of scaffold is generally used where extensive versatility is required. In many countries, it is common in construction . Horizontal tubes and walking decks can be placed at any height along the vertical tube (as permitted by engineering constraints), and vertical tubes, or legs, can be spaced at any distance apart, up to the maximum ...

  3. Offshore geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_geotechnical...

    Offshore geotechnical engineering is a sub-field of geotechnical engineering. It is concerned with foundation design, construction, maintenance and decommissioning for human-made structures in the sea . [ 1 ]

  4. Offshore construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_construction

    Offshore construction is the installation of structures and facilities in a marine environment, usually for the production and transmission of electricity, oil, gas and other resources. It is also called maritime engineering .

  5. Suction caisson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_caisson

    A suction caisson can effectively be described as an inverted bucket that is embedded in the marine sediment.Attachment to the sea bed is achieved either through pushing or by creating a negative pressure inside the caisson skirt by pumping water out of the caisson; both of these techniques have the effect of securing the caisson into the sea bed.

  6. Oil platform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_platform

    The Lun-A (Lunskoye-A) platform, located off the north eastern coast of Sakhalin Island and is a concrete gravity base substructure (CGBS).. An oil platform (also called an oil rig, offshore platform, oil production platform, etc.) is a large structure with facilities to extract and process petroleum and natural gas that lie in rock formations beneath the seabed.

  7. Operations manual - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_manual

    The operations manual is intended to remind employees of how to do their job. The manual is either a book or folder of printed documents containing the standard operating procedures, a description of the organisational hierarchy, contact details for key personnel and emergency procedures.

  8. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

    Offshore embedded anchors are anchors intended for offshore use that derive their holding capacity from the frictional, or bearing, resistance of the surrounding soil, as opposed to gravity anchors, which derive their holding capacity largely from their weight.

  9. Offshore concrete structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_concrete_structure

    Concrete offshore structures are highly durable, constructed of low-maintenance material, suitable for harsh and/or arctic environment (like ice and seismic regions), [1] can carry heavy topsides, may be designed to provide storage capacity, can be suitable for soft ground and are economical for water depths larger than 150 m. Most gravity-type ...
