The Hibernia offshore oil platform is the first major platform for the development of hydrocarbon reserves on the Grand Banks off the East Coast of Canada. The platform, a concrete gravity base structure supporting 60,000 tons of topsides, will be in 80 m of water and is designed to resist iceberg collisions. The paper describes the platform, environment and iceberg loads, geotechnical considerations and the structural analysis being performed. The platform is current under construction (Winter 1993) and will be completed in 1996.
