Offer Description
The Dutch government has funded the Geowin consortium to investigate and enable more reliable and cheaper offshore windfarm development. For this, it is mandatory to assess the location’s geotechnical feasibility. This is conventionally done with classical geotechnical approaches like cone penetration tests, borehole investigations as well as high resolution seismic surveys to structurally image the near subsurface. Ground modelling is a critical step in offshore windfarm development as it provides essential insights to the seabed properties, allowing engineers to design reliable and cost-effective foundations for the wind turbines. With more accurate data on the soil properties and seabed loadings, windfarm developers can optimize dimensions, foundation depth, wall thickness and overall monopile design of the windmills. This will allow saving steel and installation costs. Moreover, detailed geotechnical surveys scan for geohazards and also assure that there are no pipelines, cables or other infrastructure in the way, including unexploded ordnances (UXOs), or other objects on or within the seafloor where the windfarm should be developed. Using current invasive geotechnical equipment, this is a costly and environmentally aggressive endeavour, which requires large vessels, massive and expensive equipment, and a lot of time.
This postdoc position is part of a project that aims at replacing the invasive approach with a non-invasive, more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly geophysics-based investigation of the geotechnically relevant near surface. This investigation approach is called the GeoWin method. The successful applicant will concentrate on the development of a simulator for Synthetic Aperture Sonar on an Autonomous Surface Vessel (SASV), which is a software package that synthesises a SASV experiment.
Objectives:
To achieve the objectives stated above we foresee the following activities:
