About Offshore Units

Offshore units are infrastructures which are constructed at the sea by setting up a foundation on the seabed. Marine engineers construct different types of offshore structures such as subsea structure, oil refinery, oil platform, semi-submersibles, spars, tension leg platforms, floating production storage and offloading platforms, offshore wind power unit and submarine pipelines. Other marine establishments include mobile offshore units such as accommodation units, crane units, construction and maintenance units, drilling tenders, pipe cable laying units and ship maintenance and repair units.

Offshore units are of two types which are the fixed structure and the floating structure. Engineers construct platforms by analysing the type of structure which is to be constructed, water depth, meteorological conditions and production requirements before construction. They design the structure according to company requirements and study the structural configurations along with offshore specific design and analysis. Offshore unit construction designers offer different solutions such as asset lifecycle management, asset performance management, floating system design and offshore installation. They also offer other services such as plant design and analysis, piping and pressure vessel design and analysis and project collaboration. Engineers ensure that offshore units are constructed to withstand hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy, extreme temperature, floods, scour, sabotage and terrorism. They ensure that the design is strong enough to withstand storms, high tides and extreme weather.

Offshore construction equipment suppliers provide steel frames, welding equipment, fabrication, erection, concrete moulds, structural concrete and high-performance steel. They also supply reinforced steel materials, embedments, marine concrete coating, construction joints, pre-stressing tendons and other similar accessories. Some popular offshore construction equipment includes damage control, stability, barges, crane barges, semi-submersibles, jack up construction barges, launch barges, catamaran barges and dredges. Other equipment includes pipe laying barges, supply boats, anchor handling boats, tow boats, drilling vessels, crew boats, floating concrete plants, tower cranes and special marine equipment.

Offshore units such as oil rigs and oil platforms are designed to extract petroleum or crude oil. They are constructed by drilling the foundation by using offshore drilling units which comprise of pile drivers that are used to lay the foundation. There are different types of mobile drilling units which include drilling barges, jack-up rigs, submersible rigs, semi-submersible rigs and drillships. There are different types of offshore oil and gas production structures which are floating offshore gas production system, tension leg platforms, spar platforms and sub-sea production system. Some popular locations to get in touch with offshore unit construction equipment and engineers who construct offshore units in the UAE are Hamriyah free zone, Rashidiya, Hamdan Street, Corniche road, Musaffah, Deira, Business Bay, Al Quasis Industrial area and Port Saeed.
