Overview of Artificial Island Design and Construction in the Arctic
An overview is provided of the design and construction of artificial islands in the Arctic. Since the early seventies more than 20 islands have been constructed in the Alaskan and Canadian...

Geotechnical Features of Fur Seal Island Design
In summer 1983, Texaco made plans to construct an artificial island in Harrison Bay of the Beaufort Sea to serve as a platform for exploratory drilling. Fur Seal Island is to be located...

Arctic Island Construction
The history of island building in the Beaufort Sea of Canada and the United States is reviewed. Construction methods are discussed. These include hauling material from onshore in both...

Modular Construction Technology for Arctic Islands
In order to investigate the possibilities for application in the Arctic of new generation construction vessels, a conceptual design of a production island retained by crane-installed concrete...

Oilspill Response Technology for the Arctic
Alaska Clean Seas is a spill response organization whose area of interest includes all of the marine environment surrounding Alaska. It provides support to members in contingency planning,...

Probabilistic Approaches to Arctic Offshore Engineering
The arctic offshore environment poses challenges in design, site construction, and operation that range from the problems associated with large ice forces, to those of short open-water...

Pioneering Developments in Arctic Dredging
Arctic dredging techniques which have been recently implemented in the Arctic include: the successful hydraulic suction dredging of frozen sands and gravels, the first direct placement...

Arctic Earth Materials for Offshore Construction in Alaska
With the exploration activities onshore and offshore and the development of production facilities, the need for granular earth materials on the North Slope of Alaska is ever present. The...

Constructibility of Arctic Offshore Structures
The costs of structures designed for Arctic Offshore Drilling and Production Platforms have reached extreme levels. A major component of the costs of such structures is their constructibility....

Offshore Seawater Intake in the Arctic
Waterflood has become a proven technique for enhancing oil recovery from oil producing reservoirs. At Arctic north slope areas, seawater has been used successfully for such operations....

Time Dependent Material Properties Due to Solute Redistribution in Frozen Marine Soils
The design of earth structures and foundations in arctic marine environments requires the assessment of soil properties. A study is presented which investigates the change in mechanical...

Geotechnical Thermal Analysis with a Microcomputer
A computer program entitled TDHC (Two-Dimensional Heat Conduction), based on finite element modelling, is capable of solving two-dimensional nonsteady-state heat conduction problems. These...

Borrow Resource Studies in Near-Shore Areas of Alaska's North Slope
Innovative and cost-effective techniques are utilized in the exploration and analysis of near-shore sources of sand and gravel on Alaska's North Slope. High quality sources...

Ice as a Construction Material in the Offshore Arctic
Ice is the most available and abundant material in the offshore Arctic, and it is therefore one of the most cost-effective construction materials. Over the past decade, ice has been used...

Fatigue Damage for Reinforced Concrete Offshore Structures
When concrete structures are subjected to fatigue loading - resulting from ice or wave loads - progressive damage occurs with increasing number of cycles. Nonlinear damage evolution equation...

Microsilica Concrete: Properties and Applications
With the advent of microsilica concrete, a new generation of high to ultra high strength and high durability concretes have become commercially feasible and are now being specified and...

Low Friction and Adfreeze Coatings
Low friction and adfreeze coatings have proven to be cost effective in reducing skin friction on icebreaker hulls. Of the two coatings acceptable for this service, the 100% polyurethanes...

Asphalt Revetments for Slope Protection in the Arctic
Experience in the Netherlands demonstrates that slope protection of coastal embankments subjected to heavy wave action can be accomplished with lining systems made of mixtures of asphalt...

Technical Considerations for Beaufort Sea Pipelines
The development of Beaufort Sea fields requires construction methods and equipment for pipeline installation and trenching providing a balance between safety, reliability, and economy....

Directional Drilling to Install Arctic Marine Pipelines
Directional drilling for offshore Arctic pipeline construction offers essentially year-round construction performance capability. The most readily acknowledged alternate candidate construction...
