Maritime Works: General Code of Practice for Planning and Design for Operations
Also Known As:
BS 6349-1-1:2013 is a standard that provides recommendations and guidance for the planning and design of structures and facilities in the maritime environment. It is applicable to a wide range of stakeholders in the maritime industry, including engineers, architects, surveyors, construction industry professionals, port authorities, project management consultants, planning agencies, and manufacturers and suppliers of maritime equipment.
The standard covers various aspects related to the planning and design of maritime works, including environmental and operational considerations. It provides information on the physical environmental conditions that need to be investigated at coastal sites, as well as methods of survey and data collection.
BS 6349-1-1:2013 applies to coastal, nearshore, estuarine, and inland marine facilities, such as ports, maritime infrastructure, and recreational infrastructure like marinas. However, it does not cover offshore structures for the petroleum and natural gas industries, which are addressed in other standards.
The standard has been revised to align with current best practices, with updates made to the planning and design content. These updates include the reduction of informative content, the updating of reference documents, the incorporation of new technical developments in survey and data acquisition methods, and an increased emphasis on environmental, safety, and operational considerations.
