In the oil and gas industry, Petrochemical Engineering is the term used for onshore-based facilities, as opposed to offshore developments. Students following this course will therefore develop skills in the design of petrochemical structures, including their foundations.
Concepts involved in the design of petrochemical structures are introduced, alongside a range of design specifications, case studies and worked examples. In addition to gaining practice in structural steelwork design, the novelty of this course is the inclusion of basic foundation design. Emphasis is placed on good detailing and clarity of presentation of design calculations.
