Abstract
A bipod for use in ice prone offshore environments comprising a deck connected across a pair of members, each member having a neck, and angled portion disposed at the sea surface, and a base secured to the seafloor. The base is secured using a gravity-based system or pilings. An interior zone is defined between the pair of members which is maintained largely free of ice and provides ready access to the sea surface for resupply or emergency egress.
