Objectives
1. Understanding seabed scouring and the failure mechanism of scour protection for offshore wind turbine foundations. 2. Developing smart underwater sensing technology for seafloor scour detection and monitoring. 3. Researching on a structurally cemented riprap system and construction techniques to improve scour protection for offshore wind turbine foundations. 4. Managing risks, life-cycle performance and maintenance/repair strategies for offshore wind farms considering seabed erosion and extreme weather conditions.
