SYNOPSIS   

As offshore facilities—including platforms, pipelines, risers, and subsea structures—continue to operate beyond their original design life, ensuring overall structural integrity becomes critical to maintain safe and efficient operations. This talk explores the concept of engineering resilience across ageing offshore facilities, highlighting the vital role of structural monitoring and data-driven integrity management.

The session will discuss the application of structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies, dynamic response assessment and digital diagnostic tools to support life extension strategies. By integrating real-time monitoring systems with advanced analytics, operators can detect early signs of degradation, manage fatigue, optimize maintenance schedules, and reduce operational risks across multiple facility components.

Case studies from various offshore assets will be presented to demonstrate how monitoring-driven approaches enhance decision-making and align with regulatory and industry standards. The talk offers practical insights into implementing monitoring solutions for holistic offshore facility management—shifting from reactive maintenance to proactive integrity assurance in ageing offshore environments.
