Offshore engineering

The offshore industry has its own technical challenges. Installations are located in extreme environments, processes are more complex and safety standards are stricter than onshore. Dosign Academy’s Offshore Engineering training course introduces you to the key aspects of offshore installations, with specific attention to the differences compared with onshore applications. You gain insight into the techniques, systems and conditions that make this sector so distinctive.

The lesson programme

The training course offers a broad introduction to the world of offshore engineering and focuses on the technical and operational aspects of offshore installations. You learn how offshore platforms are designed, built and managed, and which disciplines play a role within projects. The training course covers piping engineering, equipment, instrumentation, the design process and environmental factors such as climate, movement, depth and corrosion. By linking theory directly to practical examples, you gain a realistic picture of working offshore.

The programme

During the Offshore Engineering training course, the following topics are covered:

  • Differences between onshore and offshore installations
  • Types of platforms and their applications
  • Equipment layout and design considerations
  • Fundamentals of piping engineering for offshore applications
  • Safety, risk assessment and regulations
  • Environmental factors such as climate, movement and corrosion

After completing the training course, you will have a solid technical foundation and understand how offshore installations are designed, built and managed. You will be able to better substantiate technical decisions and gain insight into the processes that make offshore work so distinctive.

The target audience

Who is this training course designed for?

This training course is suitable for mechanical engineers, piping designers, engineers and other technical professionals with ambitions in the offshore process industry. It is also highly suitable for candidates who want to build a solid basic understanding of the offshore sector. Basic knowledge of piping or mechanical engineering is an advantage, but not required.

Mechanical Systems & Skid Construction

Technical Modules 8 half-day session Rotterdam

Mechanical systems are at the heart of industrial installations. Piping, pumps, heat exchangers and cooling systems ensure that processes continue to operate safely, reliably and efficiently. With Dosign Academy’s Mechanical Systems & Skid Construction training course, you develop insight into how these components work together to form a complete installation. You will learn not only to understand individual components, but above all to recognise the interaction within complete mechanical systems and skids.
