Ice loads were the main concern being that ice covers the Chukchi Sea the majority of the year, and ice thicknesses can be very large. These conditions are very extreme and were calculated based on data and advice supplied by ConocoPhillips and other engineering firms in the Anchorage community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several alternatives were considered for the design of the section exposed to environmental loads. The alternatives included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A large gravity based structure with piles to eliminate the risk of sliding.<\/li><li>A steel column structure with either 1, 3, or 4 pipe columns depending on loading.<\/li><li>A composite column structure similar to the second alternative, only with steel and concrete piles.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
