Abstract :
The Navy requires highly reliable and cost effective fixed ocean facilities to support its mission requirements. Design and construction of these ocean structures to meet stringent performance requirements, severe environmental conditions and minimum life cycle cost represents a significant challenge in light of todays constrained resources. The Navy´s ocean facilities capability is reviewed in the paper including projects involving design and construction of unique ocean facilities.
