Are our construction and installation processes and activities covered adequately under existing industry standards and guidelines?
Typical risks shared with other industries, could be;
Unique risks to the Wave and Tidal environment;
Training and certification
Decommissioning, security, aviation, manning
Lifting guidelines
Diving, Marine standards
Certification, General Marine Operations
Load-out, towage, ballasting.
Structure of document is to act as a Bridging document to existing Standards and Guidelines, pointing to exact sections in existing standards which are relevant to the phase/activity.
In addition;
Document should also identify typical methods of construction and how the environment requires special considerations / attention to manage, i.e. strong currents, near shore waves.
We should not re-invent the wheel!
Guidance should be complementary to existing Best Practise.
