There is an increasing need to construct engineering structures in
the Arctic seas. The requirement is principally generated by the
oil and gas industry, because of the substantial reserves that are
known to exist offshore in the Beaufort Sea, the Caspian Sea, the
Barents Sea, the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Sakhalin, the
Canadian Arctic, and almost certainly elsewhere. Structures have to
withstand the severe environmental forces generated by sea ice, a
subject that is developing rapidly but is still far from completely
understood. Underwater pipelines have to be safe against ice
gouging and strudel scour, but also have to be constructed safely
and economically. The social and human environment has to be
understood and respected.This important book intentionally takes a
broad view, and vividly accounts for the many and often subtle
interactions between the different factors. It is illustrated by
case studies of actual projects.
