Description
The OHSI Level 1 course highlights the significance of adhering to industry standards, regulatory requirements, and environmental considerations in offshore hydrography and site investigation. Participants learn about international standards set by organizations like the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the International Association of Geophysical Contractors (IAGC). They also gain an understanding of relevant regulations governing offshore activities. Furthermore, the course emphasizes the importance of environmental impact assessment and promotes sustainable practices in offshore operations. Participants are encouraged to incorporate these considerations into their surveying and investigation processes.
Hydrography involves using specialized equipment and techniques to measure and map the seafloor, as well as to collect information about the water column, such as water depth, currents, and temperatures. This information is used to create detailed maps and charts of the seafloor, which are essential for safe navigation and for planning and designing offshore facilities.
Offshore Hydrography & Site Investigation (OHSI) Level 1 covers Significance in Offshore Engineering Projects, Overview of Hydrography, Evolution of Hydrographic Equipment and Technology, Principles of Bathymetry, Types of Sonar Systems, Applications of Bathymetric Data, Data Acquisition and Processing, Hydrographic Survey Techniques, Single-Beam Sonar: Principles and Applications, Multi-Beam Sonar: Technology and Advancements, Side-Scan Sonar and Forward-Looking Sonar, Satellite-Based Techniques, Site Investigation in Offshore Engineering, Geotechnical Surveys, Sampling Techniques, Laboratory Testing of Soil Samples, Application of Geotechnical Data in Offshore Structures, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Offshore Project Planning and Management, Incorporating Hydrographic Data in Project Planning, Risk Assessment and Mitigation, Project Management Best Practices, Advanced Technologies in Hydrography, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs), LiDAR Technology in Hydrography, Emerging Trends in Offshore Hydrography, Continuous Professional Development in the Field and more
