Project Number 56
Date of Summary September 30, 1984
Subject Assessment of Structural Icing
Performing Activity U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory
Principal Investigator Mr. L. David Minsk
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Complete
Description The objective was to assess the current knowledge of ice buildup on offshore structures in Arctic and other cold regions; determine the extent of the problem; review current technology for mitigating; and make recommendations for new approaches and additional research. Using industry sources, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory's on-line data base searches and visits to sites of known icing, the current knowledge of ice buildup on oil and gas operational facilities will be determined. A report will be prepared detailing the findings, proposing solutions, and recommending additional research, if applicable.
