Description
The West White Rose Offshore Platform is a fixed concrete gravity structure (CGS) located approximately 350 km offshore in the Jeanne d’Arc Basin, east of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Constructed in Argentia, the massive reinforced concrete base supports 23,000-ton topsides designed to withstand harsh North Atlantic conditions, including iceberg impact and extreme marine exposure.
Concrete produced with Stalite Lightweight Aggregate contributed to structural efficiency by reducing dead load while maintaining high strength, durability, and long-term performance in a demanding offshore environment.
Pictured above is the base of the West White Rose platform off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The completed concrete gravity structure stands approximately 140 meters tall and contains a total of 30,000 tons of Stalite Lightweight Aggregate.
The platform extends the life of the White Rose field and represents one of the largest recent offshore concrete gravity structures constructed in North America.
