Analysis and Design of an Onshore Structure

Abstract

Marine and onshore structures are constructed worldwide for variety of functions and in variety of water depths and environmental conditions. 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. Construction and pre-commissioning is typically performed as much as possible onshore. To optimize the costs and risks of installing large offshore platforms, different construction strategies have been developed . As the population density of cities like Mumbai, Chennai is increasing; land is going scarce day by day. And very soon the time will come when there will be no land to construct anything. So aim of this project is to push our structures to the coastline taking advantage of huge coastline of India (7,515 km) as new exile area for construction practices. Since the right selection of equipment, types of platform and also right planning, design, transportation, installation considering the water depth, tidal heights, and environmental conditions are very important, this project presents the general overview of all these aspects.
