My work experience at Fugro GB Limited, UK, has allowed me to contribute to various interesting and technically challenging projects. Below are a few projects that offered exposure to different offshore engineering activities:

Guidelines for the Site-Specific Geotechnical Analyses of Jack-ups:

• Research and Development (R&D) project from Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (HAVTIL)
• Provided guidelines for the geotechnical analysis of jack-ups, covering advanced topics such as soil partial drainage, cyclic loading and soil anisotropy [Link to the document].

Offshore Qatar:

• Developed ground models in collaboration with engineering geologists
• Derived site-specific and location-specific geotechnical parameters
• Pile analysis and design, and pile capacity reassessments considering revised geotechnical parameters and pile ageing effects
• Assessment of pile installation effects on the existing offshore facilities (pipelines and piles)

Soil Collapsibility Assessment, Uganda:

• Soil collapsibility assessments for an onshore project in Uganda
• Reviewed the available laboratory data and proposed new in-situ and laboratory testing plan
• Computed possible depth of collapsible soils and assessed foundation settlements

Jetted Conductor Reassessment, Gabon:

• Foundation reassessment study of a jetted conductor at offshore Gabon
• Jetting of soil plug effects on the capacity of conductor are assessed

Spudcan Penetration Analysis, Offshore Congo and Offshore Gabon:

• Assessment of the leg penetration and punch through risk for a jack-up rig at the Boatou field, Offshore Congo

Platform Reassessments, North Sea:

• Derivation of geotechnical parameters using both historical and recent site investigation (SI) data
• Back analysis of driven piles to determine the pile driving stresses for fatigue analysis
• Derivation of pile capacities and soil springs using ICP, NGI and Unified CPT methods 

Offshore Wind Farms, Irish Sea:

• Statistical analysis and derivation of geotechnical parameters
• Pile driveability analysis (buckling assessments and pile stresses during installation)
• Derivation of pile capacities and soil springs using ICP, NGI and Unified CPT methods

Decommissioning Activities:

• Review of geotechnical parameters
• Assessment of conductor capacities considering pile ageing effects for the decommissioning activities

Liquefaction Assessment, Offshore Romania:

• Review of geotechnical parameters , Offshore Romania
• Performed site-specific seismic response analysis and evaluated the possible liquefaction at the site

Offshore Wind Farm Substation, Germany:

• Derivation of geotechnical parameters
• Pile driveability analysis (buckling assessments and pile stresses during installation)
• Derivation of pile capacities and soil springs using API and Unified CPT methods.
• Scour assessments and the effects of scour on the foundation capacities
• Design of mud-mat foundations
