Design of Engineering Protection for Beds and Foundations of Oil, Gas, and Condensate Field Facilities Under Difficult Permafrost Soil Conditions

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Design solutions for engineering protection against rising groundwater are examined at oil, gas, and condensate field infrastructure development sites in the northern region of Russia. Examples are presented of the successful implementation of protective measures in designs and construction projects developed by OJSC Fundamentproekt.
