This project aims to tackle the scientific challenges of using screw piles as foundations for deep water offshore wind turbines. Current foundations for offshore infrastructure developments have reached their limits, and conventional screw piles are designed for land use. This project will use innovative geotechnical methods to develop verified designs, guidelines and numerical tools for predicting the forces required to install screw piles into the seabed and their capacity to resist extreme wind and wave forces relevant to these structures. As foundations cost up to 35% of construction, screw piles will provide significant economic and environmental benefits in reducing costs and unlocking substantial renewable energy from our oceans.

该项目旨在解决使用螺杆桩作为深水海上风力涡轮机基础的科学挑战。目前用于海上基础设施开发的基础已经达到极限，传统的螺旋桩是为土地用途而设计的。该项目将使用创新的岩土技术方法来开发经过验证的设计、准则和数值工具，以预测在海床上安装螺旋桩所需的力及其抵御与这些结构相关的极端风浪力的能力。由于地基成本高达建筑成本的35%，螺旋桩将在降低成本和从海洋中释放大量可再生能源方面提供显著的经济和环境效益。
