Ossian has just concluded an important anchor feasibility study with NGI. Several anchor technologies have proven to be both feasible and highly relevant for the geotechnical conditions at the project site. An anchor feasibility study is an early stage investigation to determine which anchoring solutions are technically viable for a specific site and project. It assesses factors such as soil and seabed conditions, load requirements, and potential installation methods to ensure safe, reliable, and cost-effective concepts. This marks a key step forward in shaping a project concept that is not only ambitious but also technically sound and grounded in robust research. #Engineering #RenewableEnergy

What’s next in geotechnical engineering? Bruno Fileno recently joined peers from around the world at the 11th edition of the International Course on Geotechnical and Structural Monitoring. Held in the medieval village of Poppi, Tuscany, the event brought together over 100 attendees from 18 countries to explore how precision solutions are helping engineers tackle complex monitoring challenges – combining technological innovation with real-world application. A highlight of the event was Bruno’s presentation to attendees exploring Topcon’s range of technologies for geotechnical and structural engineering, including some of our latest innovations.

RETTEW’s latest blog post breaks down how Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) quality levels—defined by the ASCE 38-22 standard guidelines—help project managers make smarter, safer, and more cost-effective decisions. From record research to precise utility location, understanding the right SUE level can mean the difference between costly delays and smooth execution. 💡 Learn how RETTEW helps clients navigate underground risks with confidence and proven ROI: https://lnkd.in/e4rVBr4K #EngineeringExcellence #SubsurfaceUtilityEngineering #SUE #RETTEW #InfrastructurePlanning #RiskManagement #ASCE3822

Performance-based design, why aren’t we leveraging it to its full potential? This is the big question posed by Shawna Munn, Aecon Group Inc.; Dave Wiley, Green Infrastructure Partners; and Katie Castelo, Isherwood Geostructural Engineers. They explore the role of Karl Terzaghi and Ralph Peck’s observational method in solving issues related to subsurface engineering and the associated construction contract risks. 📖 Read all about it in the July/August issue of #DeepFoundations magazine - https://lnkd.in/evCx_bHK #construction #civilengineering #infrastructure #DFI #widf

🚧 Hamilton Siphon Subsea Pipeline: Lessons Beneath the River 🌊 How do you install a vital sewage pipeline beneath one of Brisbane’s busiest river crossings without disrupting port traffic, the community, or the client’s operations? That was the challenge facing Commercial Marine Group Pty Ltd and Fulton Hogan on the Hamilton Siphon Bypass Pipeline, and it’s now unpacked in our latest white paper. Here’s what you’ll find inside: 🔹 Risk & Constructability Planning: How early collaboration, data, and simulations unlocked a six-week subsea installation window. 🔹 Custom Solutions: A bespoke pipelay barge with a purpose-built stinger and A-frame, engineered to safely guide and lower the pipeline in fast-flowing tidal conditions. 🔹 Zero Disruption: Delivering beneath the river without impacting port activity, the community, or network operations. This project demonstrates why precision planning is as critical as engineering execution and how that mindset can reduce risks in future marine infrastructure projects. Great work by Nick Ayres and Oliver Beechener, bringing their industry knowledge and expertise to compile this white paper. 👉 Read the full white paper below or click here: https://lnkd.in/gPZAwsAM
