Project Objectives/Outcomes

The outcome of the study of three harbours provided information to assist with the foundation engineering and installation design for several wind farms off the French coast.

Our Role

The analysis involved traditional evaluation of spudcan penetration and foundation stability, along with complex Finite Element Modelling to assess interaction effects between the spudcans and the harbour quay walls.
