Funded Activity Summary

Mobile foundations: shifting paradigms in deep sea engineering. The project will generate a paradigm shift in the approach to foundation design for deepwater hydrocarbon facilities through the innovation of mobile foundations – meaning foundations that are designed to move tolerably to accommodate displacements rather than remain stationary and resist loads. Experimental, numerical and theoretical modelling will create a new understanding of mobile foundation-seabed interaction unlocking solutions to assess the tolerability of foundation mobility though a facility life cycle. Mobile foundations will offer a more economic and reliable basis to support subsea infrastructure, making safer and more viable the development of Australia’s deepwater reserves that are currently ‘stranded’.
