Marine Infrastructure
A significant portion of Glosten's business is associated with the development of waterfront facilities and floating construction assets, where we assist civil engineering firms or general contractors with their marine-related projects. Examples of skills that we bring to these projects include:
- Wind and Wave Climatology Assessment
- Prediction of Loads due to Wind and Wave Impact
- Prediction of Loads due to Ship Impact
- Structural Design and Analysis
- Stability Assessment for Floating Structures
- Mooring System Analysis
- Mooring Hardware Solutions
- Construction Logistics Planning
- In-the-Wet Construction Techniques
- Construction or Voyage Risk Assessment
Construction logistics planning is a firm specialty, particularly where large modules or floating structures are to be constructed off site. Glosten also supports bridge projects where over-the-water large component handling is required. Typical marine construction and dredging assets we design include:
- Crane and Derrick Barges
- Suction Dredges
- Excavator Dredges
- Split-Hull Hopper Barges
- Jack-Up Barges
- Heavy-Lift Catamaran Barges
