Offshore Platform Detailing

Offshore Platform Detailing
This project involved the full structural steel detailing for a 200-ton offshore platform skid used for oil & gas operations. Our scope covered 3D modeling, connection detailing, material take-off (MTO), and fabrication-ready shop drawings—all compliant with DNV 2.7-1 and client offshore standards.
Our team coordinated closely with design engineers and fabricators to ensure model accuracy and constructability. All drawings were developed in Steel Structures, and model coordination was carried out using Navisworks to ensure zero clashes and seamless integration across trades.
Key Deliverables
Fab Steel Engineering Services successfully delivered the complete structural steel detailing for a 200-ton offshore platform skid. The scope included development of a detailed Steel 3D model, fabrication-ready shop and assembly drawings, accurate material take-offs (MTO), anchor bolt and baseplate detailing, and clearly structured erection drawings with part marking plans. 3D Steel Model of the full offshore skid structure

Our Working Process
At Fab Steel Engineering Services, our process is built on precision, efficiency, and collaboration. From 3D modeling to clash detection and final deliverables, we follow a structured workflow that ensures accuracy, reduces rework, and delivers constructible solutions on time.
Model Development
Created a Steel 3D model integrating offshore standards and connection intent.
Coordination & Optimization
Ran Navisworks clash checks and coordinated with piping and electrical models.
Drawing & Detailing
Generated GA drawings, part & assembly drawings, bolt lists, and anchor layouts.
Result & Impact
As a result of our detailing precision and effective coordination, the project experienced a 90% reduction in fabrication rework, significantly cutting down time and costs for the client. Our clash-free, ready-to-erect package was delivered on schedule, eliminating over 30 hours of potential site troubleshooting. Furthermore, the entire scope was executed in compliance with UAE-based offshore fabrication protocols, ensuring seamless integration with the client’s operational standards.
