Abstract
Although floatover operations are performed by the crew at the installation site, engineers play important supporting roles in PEP development, operation procedure development through intensive engineering efforts. Besides engineering analysis/simulation of motion and loading calculation, the work scope also cover the structural/mechanical design, technical specification for equipment fabrication, QA/QC and on site supporting, etc. Discussion in this chapter covers a wide range of the engineering work with multiple engineering disciplines. Successfully accomplished projects are referred for some technical details. Through the discussion it is very clear that the engineering work is not the isolated efforts. Communication under the project QMS system is vital for the success. The importance of the early engineering involvement for the project success is also addressed.
