1. Hebron Project: Designing and Constructing for Sub-Arctic Conditions
Off the east coast of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, approximately 350 kilometres southeast of the capital city of St. John's, lies the Grand Banks, an area known for its icebergs, ice, fog, and significant high waves and winds. These conditions presented engineering challenges for the development of the Hebron mega-project. Design technology, constructability and execution certainty are some of the key considerations factored into safely designing and building the 230-metre high Hebron platform.
