Underwater Engineering Considerations in Marine and Ferry Terminal Design and Operation
Publication: Ports '01: America's Ports: Gateway to the Global Economy
Abstract
This paper discusses the benefits of underwater engineering inspection as a valuable tool for the owners and operators of marine and ferry terminals in conducting design and operation activities. Specific reasoning for the inclusion of underwater inspection activities is discussed, as well as four specific types of underwater inspection: Underwater Pre-design Inspection; Routine Underwater Inspection, Underwater Construction Inspection, and Emergency Underwater Inspection. Discussion of when underwater inspection should be considered and what benefits may be gained along with specific project examples are provided for the four types of underwater inspection presented.
