Shown early in its construction inside of the Bull Arm Drydock site, the Gravity Based Structure of the future Hebron Oil Platform is a multi-chambered reinforced concrete structure that is designed to withstand sea ice, icebergs and meteorological and oceanographic conditions. Standing 120m high, 130m wide and comprised of 132,000 cubic meters of concrete over 40,000 tonnes of reinforcing bar (rebar), when completed and in operation the GBS will be able to store 1.2 million barrels of crude oil awaiting transfer to shuttle tankers.

Constructed within the Bull Arm Drydock from October 2012 through July 2014, the partially completed GBS was floated out of the drydock and into deep water in Bull Arm where construction continued through December of 2016, when the structure was joined with the topside oil production and worker housing module. The completed platform is slated to be towed to its final location in the Hebron oil field in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin approximately 350km Southeast of St. John's, NL in late 2017.
