ARC Research Hub for Transforming Energy Infrastructure Through Digital Engineering. This Research Hub will harness the strengths of data-based and physics-based sciences to transform the operation of Australia’s offshore energy infrastructure. This essential research will create, use and embed observations of past and ongoing activity to engineer tools and approaches necessary to enhance our understanding of the offshore environment, optimise critical operations for existing facilities (includi ....ARC Research Hub for Transforming Energy Infrastructure Through Digital Engineering. This Research Hub will harness the strengths of data-based and physics-based sciences to transform the operation of Australia’s offshore energy infrastructure. This essential research will create, use and embed observations of past and ongoing activity to engineer tools and approaches necessary to enhance our understanding of the offshore environment, optimise critical operations for existing facilities (including installation and maintenance), and efficiently design future infrastructure. The integrated multidisciplinary approach will not only help Operators achieve high productivity through low downtime and optimised maintenance, but also demonstrate, in research and industry, the transformative potential of digital engineering.Read moreRead less
Managing the existing and emerging threats from coastal flow slides. This project aims to develop the first management strategies for coastal flow slides. This project expects to generate new knowledge on how flow slides are triggered, propagate inland and undermine structures. Expected outcomes include globally applicable novel models and management approaches developed by an interdisciplinary team of coastal and geotechnical engineers and coastal geomorphologist using innovative data. This is ....Managing the existing and emerging threats from coastal flow slides. This project aims to develop the first management strategies for coastal flow slides. This project expects to generate new knowledge on how flow slides are triggered, propagate inland and undermine structures. Expected outcomes include globally applicable novel models and management approaches developed by an interdisciplinary team of coastal and geotechnical engineers and coastal geomorphologist using innovative data. This is likely to provide significant benefits for planning and managing structures along coasts and bays against destructive flow slides. The project will enable the design and implementation of coastal works to protect existing structures against flow slides risks emerging with rising sea level.Read moreRead less
