This international site investigation conference, organised by the Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) Committee of the Society for Underwater Technology, is the fifth in a series started by SUT in 1978. The last quarter of a century has seen dramatic changes in the technologies, areas and water depths in which we work, and the speed with which projects move from conception to implementation. Moving into the 21st century we have seen a new focus on sustainability issues at global and local levels. Sustainability has implications for the natural environment, resource and energy management, and on the economic survival of complete industries, as well as companies and individuals. Engineers and scientists need to focus on new ways of working, increasing their effectiveness and breadth of thinking to ensure that projects meet the triple requirements of economic efficiency, environmental protection and social acceptability. To do this we need to be both more innovative and diverse in our activities. The theme for this fifth conference was, therefore, Diversity and Sustainability with over 30 papers encompassing the widest possible range of geographic, technological and innovative projects.…

Hardcover. 250 pages. Proceedings of an international conference (The Market for Underwater Construction) organized by the Society for Underwater Technology, and held in London, 5 & 6 March 1987. A very good hardcover copy; no dust jacket, as issued. Clean inside. No highlighting or underlining. Falling oil prices and smaller offshore fields, especially in the UK sector of the North Sea, have produced a resurgence of interest in subsea developments. These developments always include the installation of a subsea structure and laying and tying-in of pipeline and control lines. In the Southern North Sea small unmanned jackets may become widely used and these require subsea control and power lines installation. This change in the offshore scene has produced a potentially larger market for underwater construction activities. Companies engaged in underwater design and construction have been developing new equipment and techniques to enable further economies to be realised. It is not only in hydrocarbon development where underwater construction plays a major role. One of the largest offshore construction projects on the UK Continental Shelf in recent years is the cross-channel link where power cables have been laid between the UK and France. This volume looks at the economic outlook and the breadth of underwater construction operations; important developments in techniques and equip- ment are presented together with a discussion of various projects in which they have been successfully used. PART I 1 An overview of subsea construction R. Goodfellow, Goodfellow Associates Ltd INTRODUCTION Working underwater is a lot more difficult than working above water or on land, therefore the incentives to do so must be found in some aspects of project realization, such as: - reduced cost; - advantageous schedule; - improved technology. …
