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.

该项目旨在应对使用螺丝桩作为深水风力涡轮机的基础的科学挑战。当前用于海上基础设施开发的基础已经达到其限制，并为土地使用而设计了常规的螺丝桩。该项目将使用创新的岩土方法来开发经过验证的设计，准则和数值工具，以预测将螺丝桩安装到海床中所需的力以及它们抵抗与这些结构相关的极端风和波力的能力。由于基础成本高达35％的建筑，螺丝桩将在降低成本并从我们的海洋中解开可续签能源的大量经济和环境收益。
