Exploration drilling projects in arctic and northern regions often take place in remote, cold, isolated and demanding locations such as lakes, muskeg areas and oceans. One of the major challenges for these projects is the lack of infrastructure making it unfeasible to employ barges or drilling vessels to support project. .
Ice pads can be grounded or floating depending on the water depth and the ice thickness required to support the intended loads. The design load should account. .
Ice pads can be constructed by free-flooding, with spray ice or with chipped ice. Typically, free-flooding is the most cost effective construction method however. .
The bearing capacity of the ice pad depends on the quality of the constructed ice. Proper construction procedures must be employed to ensure the highest ice.
