Funded Activity Summary

Foundations for offshore wind turbines in Australian carbonate seabed soils. This projects aims to enable performance prediction of foundations for offshore wind turbines in the challenging carbonate sandy sediments which are prevalent offshore Australia. This is significant for an emerging industry with each project costing tens of billions of dollars and foundations accounting for a quarter of the development cost. This project expects to provide guidance for these complex different soil conditions that is based on advanced understanding obtained from innovative experimental and numerical techniques. Expected outcomes include de-risking through significantly reduced uncertainties. This research should therefore lead to significant economic and societal benefits of affordable clean energy and generation of jobs.
