Guidance Notes for the Planning and Execution of Geophysical and Geotechnical Ground Investigations for Offshore Renewable Energy Developments

48 pages. The Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) Group of the SUT is pleased to announce its Guidance Notes for the Planning and Execution of Geophysical and Geotechnical Ground Investigations for Offshore Renewable Energy Developments. The past few years have seen a proliferation of offshore renewable energy projects including wind, wave and tidal developments. Some of the more significant risks that the developers of such projects face are the hazards and uncertainties that ground conditions present to project development, design, construction and operation. The impact of these risks can be exacerbated by the increasing size of offshore renewable developments.
