Summary
New Frontiers in offshore geotechnics: securing Australia's energy future. Offshore gas lies at the heart of Australia's prosperity, with $120 billion of infrastructure under construction, however its future requires new technology to safely build offshore foundations in our weak and problematic soils. This project will provide engineers with science-based tools to unlock the natural gas 'stranded' in our deep oceans.
