Offshore oil and gas platforms are some of our largest manmade objects. They are built to survive drilling disasters, hurricanes and icebergs. But once they’ve done their job, dismantling them is an expensive ordeal and requires all the innovations of highly sophisticated BONEYARDS.
Floating hotels and artificial reefs are some of the alternative uses recently found for these structures. And in the Gulf of Mexico they are being converted into producers of clean and renewable wind-energy.
