Pile Foundations Design

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

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. (Not more
than 500 words)
