Utvikling av en ny geoteknisk verktøykasse for å muliggjøre energiomstillingen

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

This project aims to a build a tool kit for geotechnical characterization and design to support future energy infrastructure and systems, with a focus on offshore wind, dam safety, carbon capture and storage, and energy storage. As energy projects expand into more complex geological settings with challenging geomaterials, there is a need for deeper, more accurate site investigations, streamlined test workflows, and more efficient design. The project addresses key challenges such as inadequate testing methods for intermediate and coarse-grained soils, limited CPT depth capacity, insufficient integration of field and laboratory data, and the lack of accessible, high-performance numerical simulation tools. By developing advanced testing equipment, intelligent digital platforms, AI-based interpretation tools, and a cloud-enabled finite element design tool, the project will deliver solutions that enable more reliable, efficient, and sustainable planning and design of energy infrastructure.
