Pile Foundations Design; MSc Oil and Gas Engineering

Pile Foundations Design; MSc Oil and Gas Engineering CE5655 Design of oil and gas installations. Coursework (30% of module mark) This assignment should be an individual piece of work. Scenano It is proposed to construct an extension to an oil distribution centre located on the west coast of Scotland. It is proposed to construct a pipeline from the existing production rig located 15 miles offshore. To facilitate handling a jacket platform is to be constructed in 2om of water close to the production rig. A pipeline will take the oil to the shore facilities. The oil will be stored in four holding tanks prior to processing. The tanks will be 1om in diameter and each will impose a maximum load of 5000 kN. Part 1 Explain what investigation should be carried out and the parameters you would require to design each section of the works. You should consider surveys as well as intrusive methods, depths and sampling for the offshore platform, the pipeline and the shore installation. The investigation and design should be carried out to Eurocode. Highlight the issues which need to be satisfied. (Maximum length: 2000 words) At the location of the tanks the following characteristic vales have been obtained Stratum gl to 5m alluvial 18 1.0 clay Project description Offshore Pile Foundation to be designed to Euro Code and investigated against forces that might act upon it to sustain the jacket platform plus a load of 4 x 5000 kN where depth of water is 20 m. What foundations should be used. Show your calculations and describe the process by which you have arrived at your design. Write a critical appraisal of the methods you have adopted.
