Abstract:
Concrete Technology Corp., Tacoma, Wash., has been involved in the design and production of floating concrete structures for the past ten years. Four major structures and several concrete breakwaters have been manufactured at the company’s facility. The firm now hopes to construct an offshore platform assembly site that would give it the capability of producing larger, more complex marine structures for petroleum exploration.
