FLEXIBLE BARRIER FOR POLLUTION PREVENTION IN OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION

The paper discusses membrane structures developed for the purpose of preventing polluted water diffusion. The structures are designed to isolate a certain expansion of water so as to minimize the effect of waves, wind, and current and thus contain water contamination within a specified area. The report is based on several pollution preventing works that have been installed. Also discussed are the results of a field experiment to quantitatively state the relations between pollution factors and the effectiveness of membranes in arresting pollution diffusion.
