Bibliography

Provides recommendations and guidance on general criteria relevant to the planning, design, construction and maintenance of structures and facilities set in the maritime environment. Also provides recommendations and guidance in respect of environmental and operational matters that need to be considered in planning and design of maritime works.

This part of BS6349 gives recommendations and guidance on general criteria relevant to the planning, design, construction and maintenance of structures and facilities set in the maritime environment. It also gives recommendations and guidance in respect of environmental and operational matters that need to be considered in planning and design of maritime works.

It includes a description of the various physical environmental conditions that need to be considered for investigation at a coastal site, and gives information and guidance on methods of survey and data collection.

It is applicable to coastal, nearshore, estuarine and inland marine facilities for safe navigation, berthing, mooring, loading, unloading and servicing of ships, barges and other forms of waterborne transport and the associated infrastructure, equipment and works at the ship-shore interface. It is also applicable to other civil infrastructure works at the waterfront or coastal margin such as dredging, reclamation, shoreline and coastal management works and to recreational infrastructure such as marinas.

This part of BS6349 does not cover offshore structures for the petroleum and natural gas industries, which are specified in BSENISO19900 and BSENISO19901.

It does not cover recommendations for ground investigation, which are given in BS6349‑1‑3.
