Book excerpt: Seabed scouring by large draft ice features, such as icebergs and ice ridges, is of concern to the safety and integrity of proposed subsea petroleum transportation systems for the frontier regions. The determination of a "safe" pipeline protection system is required to allow development to proceed. An assessment of risk level versus pipeline protection specification is a necessary part of the economic pre-development prospect evaluation process. The primary objectives of this study were threefold: to evaluate available deterministic analytical models, to compare observed scours with model results, and to document ongoing ice scour research and to make recommendations on future research priorities.
