Perth – Materials & Corrosion Course

ARE YOU NEW TO SUBSEA OR UNFAMILIAR WITH CORROSION CONSIDERATIONS?

This two-day course has been specifically designed for people new to subsea or unfamiliar with the various corrosion considerations which need to be applied during design, construction and operation of subsea assets. The course will cover the following topics:

  • Overview of corrosion issues
  • Corrosion & Erosion Modelling
  • Chemical Selection, Injection & Inhibition
  • Specification, Fabrication & Welding
  • Cathodic Protection & Coatings
  • Operational Integrity & FFS
  • Planning and Implementation of Inspection & Monitoring
  • Baker Hughes and ChampionX site visit

WHY WILL THIS COURSE BENEFIT YOU?

The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the various materials and corrosion issues which are applicable to subsea structures. The choices made which impact one area of corrosion and integrity will often impact the choices in other areas, and also affect the long term inspection and monitoring which may be required to ensure the design life is met. Having a general overview of the interaction between the various factors and the impact that certain choices make and the equipment used in inspecting and monitoring the structures will provide attendees with a broad knowledge on the interaction which needs to be considered in any installation.

PRESENTERS

The course will be presented by experienced personnel from both the supply and subsea industries. Most of the course will be held in a classroom environment, with the session being interactive, with every opportunity to ask questions and discuss the material presented.

COURSE FEES

FULL course (2 days):

  • Early bird – members: AUD$1200
  • Early bird – non-members: AUD$1430
  • Members: AUD$1495
  • Non-members: AUD$1780
  • Students: AUD$480
*Early Bird rates apply to all bookings paid by 24 July 2024. All bookings received from 25 July 2024 will be charged at the standard rate. Rates include GST at standard rate.

Aberdeen – Subsea Awareness Course

18-22nd November 2024 | Palm Court Aberdeen

Do you want to know more about Subsea Technology and Operations in Offshore Energy?

– then the SUT’s Subsea Awareness Course is geared towards YOU.

The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) delivers a foundation-level Subsea Awareness Course (SAC) that is suitable for personnel across the full spectrum: Operators / Developers, Contractors, Technology suppliers and other interested organisations, for example; Government, Legal, Finance, and Engineering Houses.

This course provides underpinning knowledge for new entrants in the subsea sector of the offshore energy industry, as well as offering a refresher for experienced professionals seeking to update their knowledge.

Course Description

The course is delivered by experienced personnel from across the sector from Operators / Developers, Contractors and Technology Suppliers many of whom are recognised authorities within their organisations providing deep insight to the complete lifecycle of a subsea asset in both oil and gas and offshore renewables; covering design, installation, operations and ultimately decommissioning.

The course offers a balance of classroom and site visits to manufacturing plants and operating centres, thereby providing a broad spectrum of opportunity to engage and share knowledge with our highly experienced and respected industry personnel.

Perth – October Evening Technical Meeting

The Society for Underwater Technology invite you to our October 2024 Evening Technical Meeting & Annual General Meeting:

SAVE THE DATE

Theme: Arti-fish-al Intelligence

Date:  9 October 2024

Time: 5.30 – 8.30pm

Perth – August Evening Technical Meeting – Offshore Wind Foundations 

The Society for Underwater Technology invite you to our August 2024 Evening Technical Meeting:

Theme: Offshore Wind Foundations

Date: 14 August 2024

Time: 5.30 – 8.30pm


We’ll have three presenters on the evening:

1. DRILLED AND GROUTED FOUNDATIONS IN CALCAREOUS SOILS

by James Tuckwell, LDD Australia

Drilled and grouted foundations are a common foundation type for offshore structures in Australia where calcareous soils are prevalent. These soils are highly porous and prone to dissolution that may compromise foundation stability. The dissolution process can be accelerated by groundwater flow, increasing the likelihood of subsidence, drilled hole collapse and uneven settlement. The variability in calcareous soil composition and the potential for unexpected voids necessitate thorough geotechnical investigations and continuous monitoring. This presentation describes some of these risks and mitigations for consideration in planning, design and installation.

 

2. Abstract to follow

by Doug Cleland, IQIP

 

3. 20,000db ‘DOWN UNDER’ THE SEA

by Andrew Ripley, Subsea 7

With the exciting announcement of the first batch of feasibility licenses being awarded for designated areas for offshore wind in Australia, a number of developers are about to embark on the next stage of design. One of the key aspects that will be reviewed is the foundation design. The type of foundation selected is driven by metocean, soils, water depth and wind turbine size to name a few key variables. The foundation choice, and hence method of installation have varying acoustic impacts that need to be understood and considered from an environmental impact perspective. This presentation leverages off Subsea7’s global experiences as an offshore wind installation contractor and will provide an overview of the different foundation types, installation techniques, associated noise levels and mitigation measures that have been employed to manage noise levels.


PROGRAMME & REGISTRATION: 

  • 5.30 pm – 5.55 pm Registration
  • 6.00 pm – 7.30 pm Presentations
  • 7.30 pm – 8.30 pm Networking drinks & nibbles
