Concrete Gravity-Based Structure

This article describes the construction of the Hebron offshore oil development project, which consists of a reinforced concrete gravity-based structure; a topsides structure with systems, equipment, and living space; and an offshore oil loading system. The platform was installed off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. The gravity-based structure was designed to rest on the ocean floor, held in place by gravity, and it supports the topsides structure. Building and placing the structure took over 20 million construction hours, with no lost time injury due to detailed planning.
