The Design, Construction and Maintenance of Naval Fixed Ocean Facilities. Volume 1,

Abstract

Ocean Facilities Engineering is the application of ocean engineering knowledge to the design, construction, and maintenance of naval Fixed Ocean Facilities. Fixed Ocean Facilities are structures supported by the ocean floor or attached to the ocean floor by means of a mooring system. The structure may: (1) penetrate the air-water interface, (2) be suspended between the surface and bottom, or (3) rest on the ocean floor. The scientific disciplines and technology areas of the three phases (design, construction, and maintenance) of Ocean Facilities Engineering are introduced. The ocean facility is required to integrate practical and operational knowledge with advanced scientific concepts and technology to meet current requirements and to prepare for the future. (Author)
