JIP OSCAR - Joint Industry Project Offshore Scour Assessment and Remedial Measures : project plan

Scour around jack-up footings is a known phenomenon. However, no distinct guidelines are available for scour assessment, scour prediction and scour protection design for jack-up footings. Deltares (Delft Hydraulics) is starting a joint research project to tackle scour assessment for offshore structures with a focus on jack-up platforms. The main objectives of this JIP are to improve the understanding of scour around jack-up foundations (individual legs, mat-supported) and to obtain ready-to-use practical tools which incorporate knowledge and guidelines for scour management and scour friendly jack-up design.
