"Stearns-Roger Ltd. is best qualified to carry out the Safety Study for the Beaufort Sea Artificial Islands Facilities for Dome Petroleum for the following reasons: The combined expertise of our team in safety, training, Arctic experience, drilling, production operations and other disciplines enables us to identify hazards, plan for evacuation, survival and rescue from an offshore facility, complete Phases II and III, make recommendations for further study and plan necessary research programs. Stearns-Roger experience in Kuparuk, Alaska, Parsons Lake and Norman Wells, N.W.T. gives us the background in design and safety factors to produce the Engineering Safety Manuals for Arctic design and operations. Our Drilling and Production Safety Consultant has over 35 years experience in safety, training, oil production and drilling in Western Canada, and the Arctic. Our subcontractors, Tower-Watt, incorporates some of the most widely respected experience in North America in operations in the high Arctic, having executed over 1000 projects in the Arctic since 1946. They have marine structural experience applied to recent developments in Alaska and Arctic Canada. The study will be carried out from our Calgary office"--Leaf [i].
"The following report presents the findings of a feasibility study, authorized by Gulf Oil Canada Limited (GOCAN) in March of 1977, to investigate the possibility of constructing an artificial island for the production of hydro-carbons in 95ft. of water in the Beaufort Sea, NWT. In order to provide a practical base for the study, the 1976 exploration drill site at Tingmiark was chosen by GOCAN as a site with environmental and soil characteristics representative of possible future hydro-carbon production sites in the general area. The project team chosen to perform the study consists of Swan Wooster Engineering Co. Ltd. (Swanco) to provide the civil engineering, Golder Brawner and Associates Ltd. (Golder Associates) to provide the geotechnical engineering, and Northern Construction Company to provide the contracting expertise and cost estimates. The scope of work involved in the study was divided into three tasks or sub-sections. Task 1, the First Stage, consisted of an initial or conceptual design stage of three Concept Islands based on design concepts proposed by Gocan, assessment of the methods of analysis and review of sources of materials and equipment. Task 2, the Second Stage, consisted of performing the analysis of wave and current scour and soil resistance to ice attack on modified versions of the Concept Islands. Task 3, or the Third Stage of the study, consisted of the finalization of the Concept Islands, a more comprehensive assessment of normal ice regime and ice rubble participation, finalization of the equipment construction schedules and cost estimates for capital and maintenance costs. ... The findings of this feasibility study indicate that Concept Island 2B (revised) would be more suitable for location in the 95ft. water depth of the Beaufort Sea than Concept Island 1 .... A feasibility study of this nature involving building an artificial island in 95ft. of water, twice the water depth attempted to date, and in the shear ice zone 50 miles offshore and beyond the present experience with island construction in the land-fast ice zone, is bound to turn up many areas requiring further study. A number of these are listed in the final Section 15 as considerations for ongoing studies"--ASTIS database.
GSP 21 contains 53 papers on hydraulic fill structures with special emphasis on geotechnical issues presented at a specialty conference, held in Fort Collins, Colorado, August 15-18, 1988.
Without proper hydraulic fill and suitable specialised equipment, many major infrastructure projects such as ports, airports, roads, industrial or housing projects could not be realised. Yet comprehensive information about hydraulic fill is difficult to find. This thoroughly researched book, written by noted experts, takes the reader step-by-step through the complex development of a hydraulic fill project. Up-to-date and in-depth, this manual will enable the client and his consultant to understand and properly plan a reclamation project. It provides adequate guidelines for design and quality control and allows the contractor to work within known and generally accepted guidelines and reasonable specifications. The ultimate goal is to create better-designed, more adequately specified and less costly hydraulic fill projects. The Hydraulic Fill Manual covers a range of topics such as: • The development cycle of a hydraulic fill project • How technical data are acquired and applied • The construction methods applicable to a wide variety of equipment and soil conditions, the capabilities of dredging equipment and the techniques of soil improvement • How to assess the potentials of a borrow pit • Essential environment assessment issues • The design of the hydraulic fill mass, including the boundary conditions for the design, effects of the design on its surroundings, the strength and stiffness of the fill mass, density, sensitivity to liquefaction, design considerations for special fill material such as silts, clays and carbonate sands, problematic subsoils and natural hazards • Quality control and monitoring of the fill mass and its behaviour after construction. This manual is of particular interest to clients, consultants, planning and consenting authorities, environmental advisors, contractors and civil, geotechnical, hydraulic and coastal engineers involved in dredging and land reclamation projects.
