Top Side Design (offshore structure)


The size and the distance between the foot of the deck (deck legs spacing): determines the size of the building structure and the level of elevation of the jacket

The distance between the foot of the deck depends on:
- Heavy construction deck (deck weights)
- Size required deck (required deck area)
- The number of deck (number of decks)
- Spans and cantilevers of decks

In principle, fabrication and construction methods Deck oriented effort to minimize manufacturing costs, with some strategies include:

a. Reduce cutting jobs
b. Reduce welding jobs
c. Reduce work fittings / assembling
d. Reducing the difficulty of work Sand Blasting and Painting
