The course introduces concepts involved in offshore brownfield structural engineering, including case studies and design examples for small, medium and large projects, as well as an overview of lifting guidance, structural integrity management and offshore survey information.
Emphasis will be placed on good detailing and clarity of presentation of design calculations.
This course is delivered by Distance Learning only for students studying for the MSc Oil & Gas Structural Engineering. Students will access the teaching content via MyAberdeen and the course tutor will answer queries and provide guidance through an on-line forum.

1. Brownfield Structural Engineering Overview
2. Brownfield Framed Structures
3. Lifting with Structural Steelwork
4. Lifting and Rigging Guidelines
5. Project Examples
3 coursework assignments (20, 20% and 60%). The first two assignments will demonstrate that the student can use previous examples as a basis for a new design. The third assignment will be an example of a non-standard project requirement which will encourage students to use fundamental understanding to create a design which is sound and economic.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
