Marine Works
Marine works” typically refer to construction or engineering projects that take place in or near bodies of water, such as oceans, seas, rivers, or lakes. These projects can include building or maintaining structures like ports, harbors, docks, piers, seawalls, breakwaters, and offshore platforms. Marine works often require specialized equipment, expertise, and consideration for environmental factors. They can involve various stages, from initial planning and design to construction, maintenance, and sometimes decommissioning or removal.
Process
The process of marine works typically involves several key stages:
Planning and Feasibility Study: This initial phase involves assessing the project’s objectives, feasibility, environmental impact, and potential risks. It includes site selection, regulatory approvals, stakeholder consultations, and preliminary design studies.
Design and Engineering: Once the project is deemed feasible, detailed design and engineering work commence. This stage involves developing precise plans, drawings, and specifications for the marine structures, considering factors such as hydrodynamics, geotechnical conditions, structural integrity, and environmental impact mitigation.
