DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT (SIM) FRAMEWORK FOR MALAYSIA FIXED OFFSHORE STRUCTURE

Malaysia currently has approximately 200 fixed offshore structures, some of which have been in
operation for over 40 years, which is well beyond its design life. In order for these ageing fixed
structures to continue in service or extend its operation, the current structural integrity condition
of these assets needs to be identified, addressed, prioritized and the appropriate mitigation that
should be implemented planned, which is the topic of the current research.
