1 FOUNDATIONS FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES DELHI CHAPTER Pradeep Hora It takes less time to do a thing right than explain why you did it wrong. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 2 1
2 Site Investigations (Survey) What do you need site surveys for? Just about anything you need to put on or in the seabed Exploration Surveys, Rig Site Surveys, Platform Site Surveys, Pipeline Route Surveys, Cable Route Surveys, Field Development Surveys, Clearance, Abandonment and Inspection Surveys 3 The data required - site-specific information Seabed topography and morphology such as rock outcrops and boulders Nature of the soils and rocks, their stratification and variability Soil strength, deformation and consolidation characteristics The influence of specific factors such as cyclic loading, rate of loading, soil sensitivity and thixotropy The possibility of scouring 4 2
3 The type and quantity of data required will depend upon factors that include: Type of structure planned. Installation/construction methods proposed. Water depth. Existing site data. Project phase, e.g. feasibility study or final design. Acceptable risk to people and the environment. Type of foundation loads 5 The sequence for the investigation campaign Desk study Topographical and geophysical survey Geotechnical survey and laboratory testing Additional geophysical and/or geotechnical surveys and/or laboratory testing as required Depending on the size of a project and/or the complexity of the geotechnical context and associated risks (geohazards), additional intermediate stages may be necessary. 6 3
4 Geophysical Survey A geophysical survey is required to understand the nature or characteristics of the seabed. Establishing bathymetry. Identification and location of significant seabed features, obstructions and hazards. Determination of the geometry of the subsurface layers. Extrapolation of local geotechnical data across the entire site. 7 Geophysical survey vessel 8 4

8 Geophysical Survey Basic Principles Use of geophysical remote sensing techniques, calibrated by some limited ground truth sampling. Virtually always use acoustic methods In operation, an acoustic energy source generates a pulse of sound that travels through the water column and, where powerful enough, penetrates into the seabed. The sound energy is reflected back as an echo to a receiver system and the lapse in travel time from transmission to reception is converted into ranges. 15 Geophysical Techniques The sensors tend to fall into three categories: Seabed measuring sensors, e.g. echo sounders, single beam, multi beam sounders (Water depth measurement, seabed topography) Imaging sensors, e.g. side-scan sonar, laser-scan, acoustic scanning systems (for generating a scaled image of the seabed morphology and features, Detection/identification of seabed obstructions) Sub-bottom profilers, e.g. pingers, boomers etc. (Interpretation of soil lithology, stratification, Shallow Gas Detection) 16 8

13 Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) AUVs have mission endurance ranging from 12 to 60 or more hours and some can reach depths of 6000 m. 25 HUGIN 3000 (High Precision Untethered Geosurvey and Inspection System) Semi-autonomous vehicle independently powered and controlled (cable free). Depth rated to 3000 metres. Inertial Navigation System Positional accuracy of the AUV is less than 5 m, significantly better than towed systems Sensors Multibeam Bathymetry and Imagery System Chirp Side Scan Sonar Chirp Sub-bottom Profiler Magnetometer (optional) 26 13
