ABSTRACT:
A method and structure for protecting an offshore structure in an arctic body of water from mobile ice, waves, and currents. Soil is dredged from the floor of the body of water, deposited in a berm having a size and shape adapted to protect the offshore structure, and strengthened in place by mixing cement with a portion of the soil in the berm. The space between the berm and the offshore structure is filled with unstrengthened soil fill.
