The article discusses research which provided an overview of the weight monitoring and reporting process of the single piece jacket during the detailed design and construction phase. Topics discussed include the Liwan3-1 (LW3-1) gas field in South China Sea consisting of deep water sub-sea developments and emphasis on the method to accurately generate weight data as part of the weight report process.

The article discusses research which examined a high position fabrication method of topside based on transverse loadout applied to the fabrication of HZ25-8 DPP topside. Topics discussed include the separate fabrication of the topside from deck support frame (DSF), key points of fabrication and reasons why the DSF needs to be fabricated beside topside.

The article discusses a study on fabrication methods and techniques applied to the Liwan 3-1 Mega Jacket offshore gas field development project. Topics addressed include the jacket's heavy weight and relatively short length, the construction sequence for the jacket, and the fabrication schedule and work flow. Also mentioned are the material requirements, the installation of stiffening rings and skirt sleeves, and prefabrication considerations.

The article discusses a study on a proposed method to lift a crawler crane down to the dock in offshore structure fabrication processes. Topics addressed include the obviation of disassembling and assembling the crawler, the design of a tray for moving the crawler crane, and the method's time- and cost-effectiveness. Also mentioned are strength analysis for the tray, boundary conditions and loads, and slope strength analysis.

The article focuses on a study which presented modal parameters identification of offshore platform using Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) Method. The methods for mode mixing problem are given. Results revealed the effectiveness HHT for the structural modal parameter identification for the jacket platform
