Marine Construction Technology

What You Will Learn

• 1 Learn the fundamentals of marine construction including structural typologies, site conditions, and core challenges.
• 2 Understand marine site investigation methods, geotechnical risk assessment, and seabed characterisation techniques.
• 3 Apply principles of reinforced concrete and steel design specifically adapted to submerged and splash-zone environments.
• 4 Analyze coastal protection systems such as breakwaters, revetments, and seawalls with focus on wave-structure interaction.
• 5 Implement pile foundation design and execution strategies for deep-water and soft-soil conditions.
• 6 Explore offshore structure installation methods including lift-barge, float-over, and jacket launching procedures.
• 7 Develop dredging and land reclamation plans using hydraulic and mechanical approaches with sediment management.
• 8 Evaluate marine environmental regulations, impact assessment protocols, and sustainability best practices.
• 9 Apply occupational safety frameworks, risk matrices, and emergency response planning for marine construction sites.
• 10 Synthesise project management tools: schedule optimisation, cost estimation, contract types, and quality assurance for marine works.
