Advances in Structural Integrity Assessment and Modular Installation Techniques for Harsh Offshore Environments
Abstract
The offshore energy sector faces unique engineering challenges due to extreme environmental conditions, such as high wave loading, corrosion, fatigue, and remote accessibility. This paper examines recent advancements in structural integrity assessment and modular installation techniques designed to address these challenges. It explores contemporary technologies like non-destructive testing, structural health monitoring, and predictive maintenance systems, focusing on integrating digital twins and AI-driven solutions. Additionally, the paper investigates modular construction strategies, emphasizing the benefits of prefabrication in reducing installation time, costs, and operational risks. Case studies from Arctic platforms, deepwater developments, and offshore renewable energy systems illustrate how these innovations enhance offshore infrastructure's safety, sustainability, and performance. The paper concludes by discussing the future of offshore structural engineering, emphasizing the importance of continued research, regulatory frameworks, and the integration of sustainable practices in design and decommissioning. These advancements are critical to ensuring long-term operational reliability and environmental stewardship in offshore environments.
