Geo-Wise assisted Jan De Nul Group in Developing a new Jet Sword Concept for Moonfish Trencher

24-May-2022

In a productive collaboration, Geo-Wise assisted Jan De Nul Group in developing a new jet sword concept for Moonfish trencher for deep cable burials for an offshore wind project in the North Sea.

Geo-Wise carried out full-3D numerical analyses, design and build-up of a scaled model (incl. sensors and data loggers), laboratory testing planning, physical testing, as well as data logging and data interpretation.

A very good agreement was found among the results of numerical modelling, scaled testing, and the field trials.

Are you interested in knowing more about the Jack-up touch-down loads in hard seabeds? Then be sure to attend our expert talk on International Conference: The Jack-Up Platform (Tuesday, 2nd November 2021).

Geo-Wise Managing Director Ehsan Izadi will present the dynamic aspects of WTIV touch-down loads in hard seabeds (e.g. rocky outcrops). More information here.

Numerical Modeling of a UXO Detonation near Seabed

23-Aug-2021

In a very successful collaboration, Geo-Wise and the Sonic Drilling Institute had the privilege to assist EODEX with a complex situation where an SC-250 bomb (125kg TNT-based explosive) from WWII was found at seafloor nearby critical facilities in the UK waters. We were able to numerically model the impact of a fully-blown and partial detonation of the UXO and demonstrate that the integrity of the assets will be preserved subject to the detonation. The seabed shape and properties were also assessed.
