We make foundations for offshore projects possible!

  • Investigation of geophysical properties and subsurface soil parameters by means of electrical or seismic methods, gravity or magnetic field measurements, coring and CPT-E
  • Evaluation of the collected data. Planning of any necessary additional investigations programmes in the case of heterogeneous soil mechanics parameters
  • Analysis of hydrodynamic forces acting on the structure using LAT/HAT
  • Discussion of optimum foundation models (monopile, tripod, gravity footing, etc) and compilation of ground-related recommendations.

OFFSHORE FOUNDATIONS

Offshore structures are subject to loads up to 15 times greater than onshore structures. The economic viability and lifetime of a given facility is thus even more dependent on the correctness of the foundation.

An appropriate risk minimisation in terms of hazards such as wind, currents, collisions or increased horizontal deflections can therefore only be achieved by means of expert opinions.
