This one-day course explains offshore geology, geohazards and geotechnical engineering, adopting a holistic approach to show how they interact and how an improved understanding of all three disciplines can lead to optimised infrastructure solutions. It is aimed at an audience with no or limited knowledge of geosciences.
The course will
- Introduce the different geological environments present offshore Australia and in other regions, ranging from shallow water through to deep water.
- explain how an integrated ground model can be used to reduce risk and increase value.
- show best practices for the collection of data for site characterisation, design and geohazard mitigation.
- Illustrate the geotechnical design of geotechnical infrastructure, including shallow foundations, deep foundations, anchors and pipelines, illustrated with numerous case histories.

This five-day Course has been designed by industry and is suitable for contractors, engineers, operators and those new to subsea, those transferring from other disciplines within the industry and those who have worked in subsea previously but would benefit from a refresher course and exposure to the latest technology.
Whilst most of the course will be presented in a ‘classroom’ environment, the sessions will be interactive, with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss what has been learnt. In particular, hands-on and visual components have been included wherever possible to enable delegates to view software models and products destined for subsea service.
The course also hosts two site visits, taking delegates out of the classroom and into the real life subsea industry, plus a networking dinner.
For further information, sponsorship opportunities or to register please email Patricia Slapp.

Two-day Subsea Awareness Course 2018
We invite you to join our two-day subsea awareness course which is aimed towards engineers who are new entrants to the subsea industry. Employees and refresher candidates who need technology conversions within the offshore industry.

The course programme is as follows:
Day 1 will be spent at OneSubsea’s modern manufacturing facility at Horsøy where the attendees will receive technical presentations, and be able to walk through the factory and inspect state-of-the art subsea processing equipment including multiphase pumps, multiphase meters, production trees, and more. Subsea 7 will cover the afternoon session about offshore marine operations.
Day 2 will be spent at TechnipFMC’s facility on Coast Center Base at Ågotnes, where there will be more focus on Subsea Production Systems including a tour of their workshop. Equinor will cover the afternoon session and present the operators perspective about subsea field developments.
If you are working within subsea oil and gas you should take this unique opportunity to be updated about the latest technology in the business. The course is a cost-effective way to update and prepare for the increased activity we experience in the subsea business.
Learn more about the detailed programme.

A step change in innovation which surrounds networked technologies is now evident in almost every facet of human marine engagement. However, as the industry focuses on a digital reformation to enable a safer, smarter operating environment, how do we keep pace? Issues such as: security, ‘re-skilling’ of the current workforce and the evolution of regulatory policy and current work practices require consideration as we move toward a digital future.
As a jointly hosted event, The Society for Underwater Technology, The Hydrographic Society in Scotland and the International Marine Contractors Association invite you to our popular annual seminar.
