The use of concrete as the construction material of choice, in the form of gravity base structures (GBS). Concrete structures tend to be of a larger volumes than steel, which would potentially accommodate larger Liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks and topside facilities. They are also durable in a marine environment, with low maintenance costs. Concretes can be made available in a variety of structural configurations, and exhibits excellent resistance to cryogenic temperatures. They have good resistance to fatigue and buckling, and offers stronger resistance against accidents of boat/vessel impact, missile attack, fire, and explosion.
