Ocean Construction Platform Compendium

摘要

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command is responsible for the administration of the Navy military construction program, facilities planning, facility maintenance and utility operations, real property inventory management, and support functions related to public works, floating cranes, pontoons and moorings, ocean structures, and to transportation, construction, and weight-handling equipment, NAVFAC also provides engineering and technical services in nuclear sore power and radioisotope power devices. NAVFAC established the Ocean Facilities Engineering and Construction Program to enable the Command to fulfill its assigned responsibilities with regard to the planning and installation of ocean strutures, moorings, and associated equipment. In carrying out these responsibilities, floating platforms are frequently required for site surveys, for logistics support, and for performance of ocean construction work. The purpose of this compendium is to provide information on the physical and performance characteristics of available platforms. These data are to be used in the selection of platforms for ocean construction projects and in the development of project execution plans.
