BS PAS 1401:2025

Full Description

This PAS gives recommendations on the creation and management of nature-inclusive marine structures, ensuring sustainable, positive outcomes for nature and providing a structured, procedural approach to nature-inclusive design. It covers guidance relating to core philosophical principles of nature-inclusion, broad design considerations, planning, construction, augmentation with habitat-forming organisms, monitoring, communications and decommissioning.

This PAS is globally applicable to any structure or set of structures, that will be placed in any marine environment, during marine construction projects (hereafter referred to as “projects”). It includes both the above-water and underwater sections of structures, as well as all environments defined as marine (see 3.1.22). It is also applicable to the modification or enhancement of existing man-made structures already located in a marine environment. It is not limited to “add-on” units for habitat enhancement but covers the complete scope of structures destined for marine environments. See more
