Steel Floating Substructures

Sessions include:

The Basics - will be looking at steel supply (green steel), large scale welding automation, Future Factory models and maximising local content.

Substructure Design – Industrialisation – substructure design for manufacture including tubular and steel plate options with examples of from supply of mass produced wind tower components and steel plate lines for shipbuilding type manufacturing techniques.

Substructure Design – Further innovation – new floating substructure concepts that move beyond traditional concepts such as the semi-subs and spars from the oil and gas industry.

Developer Viewpoint – Selection criteria, paths to industrialisation and cost reduction of steel substructures from a developers angle

Port Infrastructure - what is required to deliver steel substructure manufacture and assembly at quaysides

Final Assembly – The EPCI Viewpoint – large scale assembly techniques from Tier 1 players
