ISO 19903 specifies requirements and provides recommendations applicable to fixed, floating, and grounded concrete offshore structures for the petroleum and natural gas industries and for structures supporting nationally important power generation, transmission, or distribution facilities. ISO 19903 specifically addresses:
ISO 19903 is intended to cover the engineering processes needed for major engineering disciplines to establish a facility for offshore operation.
ISO 19903 on concrete offshore structures is useful for:
ISO 19903 helps you with the experience gained with fixed and floating concrete offshore structures. This experience shows that concrete offshore structures perform well and are durable in the marine environment. These structures are all unique, one-of-a-kind structures, purpose-made for a particular location and a particular set of operating requirements.
ISO 19903 reflects, in particular, the experience and the conditions in the North Sea and the east coast of Canada, and the design rules and practices used there, but is intended for worldwide application.
ISO 19903 will be useful to the industry, as comprehensive treatment of some topics is provided in it, where there is currently no other relevant reference. For such well-known topics as the design formulae for concrete structural members, ISO 19903 is intended to be used in conjunction with a suitable reference standard for basic concrete design. The designer can use suitable national or regional design standards that provide the required level of safety.
