Are you trying to build, without experience, an offshore oil rig some time in the near future? Blow one up?
It would help if you gave a hint as to what you are actually trying to figure out on a blueprint.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62071634 Haha! That'd be a hell of an undertaking! I've never been involved with Oil platformplans, but I know for buildings and developments, there is a whole team of Architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, structural engineers and environmentalists.. I guess you'd probably add in petroleum engineering into the mix on a oil platform. Add all that expertise up and that's a whole lotta schooling and math.. I'm always amazed at the engineering that goes into platforms. Not even just the physical plant, but the oil exploration, the giant drilling ships searching for pockets of black gold, and even moving the plant from port to sea is amazing. Thoughts on pollution aside, the fact that people can do this stuff is incredible. It's really is fascinating. The sheer scope of everything involved is astounding. I was watching a show about saturation divers/welders the other day. This is an intense job. They stay pressurized, at depth, for 28 days. Breathing a mix of O and He the entire time. Then, after their 28 day hitch, they decompress for 6 days.. They make anywhere from 45,000 to 90,000 a month, depending on the depth. Crazy.. Well, they don't stay at depth. They enter a submersible while at depth that is pressurized at the same depth. That is then taken up to the ship the rest of the crew is on, and the pressure is maintained throughout. If they somehow lost pressure in there, they would die a very painful death..
