Gives technical information on the design, materials, and
construction of grouted connections between the supporting piles of
offshore structures and jacket legs/pile sleeves. Is based on
guidance previously contained in section 22 of the Fourth Edition of
the Health and Safety Executive's "Offshore installations:
guidance on design, construction and certification" which was
withdrawn in 1998. The withdrawal of the "Guidance" was not
a reflection on the soundness (or otherwise) of the technical
information it contained; some sections (or part of sections) of the
"Guidance" are currently referred to by the offshore
industry. For this reason, after consultation with industry, relevant
sections are now published as separate documents in the HSE Offshore
technology (OT) report series. Whilst the text has been reformatted
for offshore technology publication, the technical content has not
been updated.
Some of these research reports are very large, for information about expected download times please see our FAQs pages.
