Scour at Offshore Structures
The drive for marine offshore renewables developments has led to focussed requirements for scour hazard assessment relating to foundations and the cabling necessary for in-field transmission and power export. Foundations can represent a significant proportion of the installed capital costs of a renewable energy device so the offshore renewable energy community can benefit from the sharing of information and the development of common approaches to scour and geotechnical issues. Foundation options including monopiles, multi-piled tripods and jackets, gravity bases, or suction piles are being considered for a variety of offshore renewable installations. This paper concentrates on scour assessment challenges in currents and waves, including scour experience at built foundations, time-series predictions of scour and considerations with respect to the evaluation of heterogeneous soils.
