Description
The Introduction to Offshore Wind Foundations for Graduate Engineers (IOFGE) Level 1 course is specifically designed to provide graduate engineers with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of offshore wind foundations.
The course covers various aspects of offshore wind foundations, including different types of foundations used in offshore wind projects, such as monopile, jacket, and floating foundations.
Participants in the IOFGE Level 1 course will gain a comprehensive understanding of geotechnical considerations in offshore wind foundations, including soil mechanics, geotechnical investigation techniques, and soil-structure interaction.
The course focuses on structural design principles for offshore wind foundations, including load estimation, design criteria, and design methods for different limit states.
Environmental considerations, foundation installation techniques, and operations and maintenance aspects specific to offshore wind foundations are also covered in the IOFGE Level 1 course, providing participants with a holistic understanding of the subject matter.
Introduction to Offshore Wind Foundations for Graduate Engineers (IOFGE) Level 1 is structured for graduate offshore engineers and covers Foundation Design Difference Between Oil & Gas Platform and Offshore Wind Turbine, Offshore Design Criteria & Considerations, Gravity Foundations, Piled Foundations Flexibility & Adaptability, Choice Of Foundation Types, Offshore Wind Foundation Types, Offshore Wind Foundation Current & Future Prototypes, Floating Foundation Concepts, Foundation Engineering Analysis Concept and more.
