- Abstract
There are many challenges associated with the design and installation of Arctic subsea pipelines. Unique offshore Arctic environmental loading conditions influence each pipeline design differently. Pipelines located in ice environments must be designed for protection against the risk of seabed ice gouging (also known as ice scouring) in order to ensure asset integrity and design operability throughout the installation's lifespan. Statistical distributions and probabilistic assessments of ice gouge records can be applied to predict design extreme ice gouge depths which can then be used to determine required pipeline burial depths for protection against ice keels.
