4th International Symposium on Frontiers
in Offshore Geotechnics 2022

Join us at ISFOG 22

Booth 206

28 - 31 August - Austin, Texas

ISFOG is the one of the most prestigious niche conference focused on offshore geotechnics. This year's event will highlight the latest cutting-edge solutions for offshore geotechnical challenges, as well as host the fifth McClelland Lecture. ISFOG 2022 will feature emerging technologies related to data science and emphasize the recent surge in global offshore renewables development.

Find out about:

Foundation design - trends and considerations to reduce installation risk
Preliminary, FEED and detailed design of offshore foundations for renewable and oil and gas sectors
2D and 3D static and dynamic finite element analysis of offshore foundations and slopes including storm and seismic conditions
Large deformation finite element analysis of deep penetration (e.g. spudcans and CPT)
Advanced analysis of pile response (axial, lateral, drivability and free-fall) in difficult soil conditions, including carbonate and micaceous soil, and soft rocks
Ground risk management framework in all phases of development
Integrated cloud-hosted engagement platform for accessing real-time Geo-data and document management throughout an asset's life cycle

Did You Know?

Design, production and installation of foundations account for up to 34 % of a wind farm’s development budget

Consultancy-led laboratory testing programmes can optimise the type, depth and frequency of tests required to address foundation considerations. Last year, we expanded laboratory capacity by more than 50 %, adding state-of-the-art, full accreditation laboratories in Belgium and Taiwan. Watch the video on our new soil testing laboratory in Belgium.

Fugro’s laboratory harmonization programme was nominated for the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion at the Ground Engineering Awards 2022.

If you have a flare for advanced laboratory testing, learn more about joining one of our laboratories around the world. Contact Amin Rismanchian for more details.

Marine Geoconsulting at Fugro

Offshore wind is fundamental for the future of energy and this year we proudly celebrate 25 years of supporting this exciting industry. Over these years Geo-data has become increasingly important - used throughout the asset life cycle as digital twins of the construction site - to accelerate and de-risk these complex projects. With many exciting opportunities on the horizon, our experts will be at ISFOG to discuss how we can continue to support your projects. Together we can drive the offshore wind sector forward and by doing so we will contribute to a safe and liveable world.
