KW1501 South Oil Company (SOC) / Leighton International 2011 Review of the available options for dredging backfill methodology for the Shore Approach and Offshore, in light of the available soils and metocean data. Preliminary assessment of what the backfill condition will be, and how changes to the methodology could improve the situation. The potential effect of the operation on the lines, given the proposed schedule and contents of the lines, is key. Consideration is given to how the potential methods affect the condition of the backfill and thus its suitability for the proposed stabilisation. Selection of the preferred solution for detailed review.
