Based upon the author's wide experience in a broad range of
projects, this invaluable book sets the scene and places rock
installation in the context of the offshore industry today. This is
an industry where health, safety and environmental considerations
are factored in to a project with the same level of professionalism
as regulatory compliance and good design. Full information is
provided about planning, preparation, execution and reporting of a
rock installation project. Brief but key information is provided
about rock types, the nature of the seabed and the relationship
between the quarry and the receiving vessel, which together form a
system of turning a terrestrial geological formation into a rock
berm offshore. Rock installation vessels, their characteristics,
equipment and capabilities are examined in outline. This book is
based upon personal experience offshore in a series of rock
installation projects over the last 16 years. It covers the oil and
gas sector, coastal engineering, power and telecom cable projects
and draws on practice in the UK, Norwegian and Danish Exclusive
Economic Zones where much rock installation takes place. The range
in scale is significant, from large oil field development projects
to those of a much more specialised nature such as the preparation
of sites from which a jackup rig can safely operate. The marine
environment is examined in some detail. The author believes that
all personnel working in the offshore industry, whether at sea or
in onshore positions, need to understand the harsh but majestic,
hostile and often unforgiving marine environment. With a number of
new operators developing both end of life and new fields, knowledge
concerning SRI has been diluted or even lost. This book is a useful
enabler for project staff and new client representatives offshore
to have a productive rock installation experience from the initial
discussions with a contractor to the final results and
verification.
