Use of hydraulic mechanization means to create offshore artificial island
On the example of North-Kamennomysk of the gas field in the Ob bay there was carried out the technical justification of the possibility to create an artificial ground island construction (AGIC) by means of hydraulic mechanization - preparation of the base and formation of the ground core made of fine sand creating the bed of the seawater territory. This region has a severe climate: mean annual air temperature ranges from minus 9°С to minus 10°С. For AGIC creation it is recommended to use hydraulic mechanization means with a number of advantages over the method of dry digging. In this case the soil should be excavated mainly from the reservoir bottom near the construction site.
