Maritime Works: Code of Practice for the Design of Shipyards and Sea Locks
Also Known As:
The standard, BS 6349-3:2013 provides recommendations and guidance for the design of shipyards and sea locks. It is applicable to both commercial and naval base facilities. The standard is relevant to various stakeholders in the maritime industry, including engineers, architects, surveyors, and construction companies involved in maritime infrastructure projects. It also caters to port authorities, planning agencies, government departments, and manufacturers and suppliers of fenders and vessel berthing products.
The purpose of this standard is to outline the design criteria for shipyards, including dry docks, piers, quays, slipways, shipbuilding berths, shiplifts, floating docks, sea locks, hydrolifts, dock and lock gates, and mechanical and electrical services distribution and control systems. By following this standard, maritime works designers can understand the purpose of each facility within a shipyard and achieve more efficient and effective design outcomes.
The latest revision of BS 6349-3 reflects technological advancements and industry best practices. Notably, the scope of the standard has been broadened to include all principal maritime waterfront structures and their interrelationship in the overall shipyard design. The general criteria for maritime works have been relocated to the subparts of BS 6349-1, which cover general planning and design for operations, actions, geotechnical aspects, and materials. BS 6349-3 focuses specifically on the design criteria for shipyards and sea locks.
