1 BS 6349: Maritime Works Moving into the New Era On Monday 18th February :00hrs until 16:15hrs Registration from 09:30hrs To be held in the Godfrey Mitchell Theatre at the Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street London, SW1P 3AA Why you should attend this PIANC event This is a rare chance to hear about the progress being made on bringing the British Standard for maritime works into the 21 st century and for you to contribute to its development. Nine of the country s top specialists in the design of maritime structures will outline the parts of the standard that will shortly be released for public consultation and give a preview to the next generation of standards. The speakers represent the PIANC, IStructE, the concrete industries, OCIMF and design consultants. We are also pleased to announce that Dr Scott Steedman, Director of Standards at BSI, will be attending the morning session to discuss BSI s vision for the future of standards. The seminar has been structured to maximise the interaction of those attending both within the seminar and in a series of offline Q&A sessions. If you are involved in maritime works, either as a port company, an operator, a contractor, a designer or a supplier then this is an opportunity that you really cannot miss.

2 BS 6349: Maritime Works Moving into the New Era Upgrading BS6349 BS 6349: Maritime Structures is a suite of 8 standards covering most aspects of maritime civil engineering. It is widely used on an international basis and as such is one of the most successful British Standards not including the Eurocodes. In 2012 momentum on the revision of BS 6349 Part 1 has picked up with the publication of BS6349 Part 1.3 on Geotechnical Aspects and the submission to public consultation of BS 6349 Part 1.4 on Materials will see the publication of the remaining parts of Part 1 (Part 1.1, Planning and design for operations and Part 1.2, Assessment of actions), the revision of Part 3 on Shipyards, Lock Gates and Dry Docks and possibly also Part 4 on Fenders and moorings. This puts the completion of a comprehensive revision process in sight and the finalisation of the alignment of BS 6349 with the Eurocodes. The objective of this seminar is to draw attention to these impending Public Consultation periods. The other objectives are:- to raise interest in the general activities of BSI committee CB502, which is the committee responsible for developing and maintaining the BS 6349 suite of standards to invite interest from competent persons to take part in the standardisation process. to provide an opportunity to meet and put your point of view to the Chairman of CB502 and various panel members for parts of thestandard in a separate Feedback Workshop, which will be running throughout the day in a breakout room while the presentations are taking place. This seminar is recommended to any civil, port or coastal engineers involved in the design and planning of maritime facilities.

3 Programme 09:30 10:00hrs Arrival& Registration Rennie Room 10:00hrs Welcome address- Chris Boysons, Seminar Chairman 10:05hrs Standards as knowledge for innovation and growth Dr Scott Steedman CBE FREng, Director of Standards at BSI BSI is one of the world s leading national standards bodies, a thought leader on the role and benefits of standards. Dr Scott Steedman has worked on PIANC WGs and is a civil engineer by background. Now Director of Standards for BSI, he will explain his vision and strategy for standards as tools for business and industry and the importance of BS 6349 in this framework. 10:30hrs BS The revision process The challenge of relevance Steve Osborn, Chairman BSI Committee CB502 BS 6349 is one of the most respected standards in the world and is used extensively worldwide. This talk sets out the challenges that the CB502 committee has taken up and the approach adopted to carry out the revisions for BS 6349, taking account of its international relevance as well as its role to provide standards for designing Maritime Works closer to home. (Steve Osborn is a Chief Maritime Engineer in the Water and Environment Division of Atkins Ltd) 10:55hrs BS 6349:Part 1.1: General Code of practice for planning and design for operations David Veale, Member, BSI Committee CB502 The first part of the newly partitioned Part 1 gives guidance and recommendations on general criteria relevant to planning, design, construction and maintenance together with recommendations for survey and data collection. This includes recommendations in respect of environmental, safety and operational matters that should be considered in planning and design. David brings the perspective of an owner s organisation responsible for developing, operating and maintaining assets with major marine facilities for the oil, gas and petrochemical industries. He will discuss the key issues that were encountered during drafting and how the new Part 1.1 provides a stronger emphasis on the connection of information used at the design stage with the information that operators need to develop operation and maintenance manuals. This covers aspects such as data collection and assessments of functional operability in navigation simulations, mooring and operability studies. David will also explain how the new Part 1.1 provides an improved framework for defining appropriate design situations for structural design. (David Veale is Principal Technical Expert for Marine Facilities engineering in Shell Projects and Technology in the Netherlands and represents the Oil Companies International Marine Forum on CB502) 11:30hrs Refreshment Break Tea, Coffee and Biscuits to be served in the Rennie Room

4 11:50hrs BS 6349:Part 1.4 Materials, Getting ready for publication Peter Keel Member, BSI Committee CB502 and Jon Knights, Drafting Panel Member, for BS 6349 Part 1.4 The fourth part of the newly partitioned Part 1 has generated intense discussions with the concrete industry. Peter Keel and Jon Knights will outline the changes to concrete practice that will arise from the publication of this revised document. (Peter Keel is Technical Director of Pipeshield Engineering Ltd and represents the Concrete Society on Committee CB502 and Jon Knights is an Independent Materials Consultant) 12:15hrs BS 6349:Part 1.2, Actions, Capturing best practice since 1991 Simon Burchett Member, BSI Committee CB502. The new Part 1.2 is notionally split into two sections; Sea State and Actions, Loads and Hydraulic Responses. The latter section retains (and updates) various physical actions covered by the current version of Part 1 (2000) such as soil pressures, winds, berthing/ mooring, cargo handling/ storage, etc., but also introduces substantial guidance covering hydraulic actions (primarily wave related) which is either new or is partially covered elsewhere within the suite of standards, i.e. within Part 7: Breakwaters (1991). Of all the sections in BS 6349 the new Part 1.2 on actions represents possibly the most technically challenging part of the updating process. This is because of the need to introduce substantial new guidance in fields that have seen rapid scientific and technological changes in the past two decades. On behalf of the team of experts currently involved in drafting the new Part 1.2, Simon will provide an update on progress to date and outline the plan to completion, including ways in which further contributions can be made.. (Simon Burchett is a Principal Maritime Engineer with Atkins Limited) 12:45hrs BS 6349 Part 3 Design of Shipyards and Sea Locks The new issues for shipyards facilities Adrian Arnold, Member of BSI Committee CB502 In his earlier career, Adrian Arnold was a protégé of the principal drafter of the original BS 6349 Part 3. Having spent a very large part of his career in the design and management of shipyard projects incorporating all types of shipyard facilities, he is well placed to lead this well overdue revision work. Adrian will highlight the key changes in the revision which now encompasses all the major elements of shipyard design with new text on functionality of each element. (Adrian Arnold is Global Technical Director, Shipyards for Royal HaskoningDHV) 13:10hrs Lunch Break A sandwich lunch will be held in the Rennie Room 14:10hrs BS 6349: Part 4 Fenders and Moorings Peter Beamish, Member, BSI Committee CB502. BS 6349 Part 4 is being updated to reflect changes in fendering practice since it was first published and to take on board the recommendations of the PIANC Guidelines for the design of fender systems, WG 33. The issue of berthing approach velocities remains a particular concern. (Peter Beamish is a Technical Director with Royal HaskoningDHV)

5 14:35hrs BS 6349: Part 9 The challenges of standardisation for Port Surfacing Jonathan Tyler, member of BSI Committee CB502 The drafting of a standard for something like Port Surfacing presents a number of challenges in that the such surfacing is, by it's very nature, going to suffer damage at some stage or other in its life. Therefore reaching a consensus on what represents satisfactory behaviour is not easy. Jonathan's presentation will explain the proposed approach to achieving this and the need to win industry "buy in" to the recommendations in the standard. Jonathan Tyler has vast experience in the design of paving in container terminals throughout the world. (Jonathan Tyler is Global Sector Director, Container Terminals for Royal HaskoningDHV) 15:00hrs Refreshment Break Tea, Coffee and Biscuits to be served in the Rennie Room 15:20hrs Finalising the revisions Bringing BS 6349 into the 21 st Century Chris Boysons, Member, BSI Committee CB502. The CB502 committee has set itself the target of completing the revision of all the standards by 2015, so that the suite is on firm foundations. The previous talks give the overview of the work that is presently active, but in the very near future work will begin on the revisions for Part 5, Dredging and Reclamation, Part 6, Floating Structures and Part 7, Breakwaters as well as minor adjustments to the relatively recent Part 8 on RoRo Ramps, Linkspans and Walkways. Chris will highlight some of the anticipated problems with finalising these documents and also appeal for suitable experts to volunteer to assist in this important work. (Chris Boysons is Chief Engineer, Ports and Maritime, Europe for CH2M HILL) 15:45hrs Feedback from the Parallel Session Workshop Steve Osborn Steve Osborn will summarise the issues raised in the Parallel Session Workshop and invite discussion about them.. 16:05hrs Summary and Closing Address Chris Boysons 16:15hrs Close of Meeting Parallel session workshop 10:55 to 15:30hrs A feedback workshop chaired by Steve Osborn and attended (when available) by the speakers will be held as a parallel session in the Tredgold Room.
