sub-sea engineering

Sub-sea engineering involves designing and constructing structures, equipment, and systems used underwater, primarily in the oil and gas industry. This field focuses on how to safely and effectively explore and harness resources found on the ocean floor. Engineers in this field work on underwater pipelines, drilling rigs, and remotely operated vehicles, ensuring they can withstand high pressure and corrosive marine environments. Their work is crucial for energy production, environmental protection, and advancing ocean exploration technologies, combining disciplines like mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering to solve complex underwater challenges.
