Deltares capability Scour 3/3
•Systematic scour research
> Example: JIP OSCAR
> Objective: investigate scour at jack-up foundations
> Systematic physical model tests for three spudcan types
> Test database → scour formulae → software
> PC tool OSCAR the scour manager
– Scour assessments / forecasting
– Design of scour protection
> Field validation

DTS: Monitoring sediment transport
1. Continuous monitoring of erosion and deposition with
temperature measurements (Kornwerderzand)
2. The aquifer thermal energy storage project (Utrecht)
3. Sand suppletion, offshore Workum (Friesland)
19. July 21, 2014 20/22
•Sand suppletion, offshore Workum (Friesland)
•Fiber-optic DTS (Digital Temperature Sensing)
•Temperature measurements <0.1ºC resolution, spatial resolution <1 meter
DTS: Monitoring morphodynamics I
20. July 21, 2014 21/22
•The fibre-optic DTS measurements clearly reflect the position of the nourishment and sandbars
•changes in morphology of the nourishment can be deduced from the temperature signal
DTS: Monitoring morphodynamics II

Metocean Database ADMA-OPCO
Metocean database
• for the oil fields offshore Abu Dhabi
• for design and planning offshore activities
• includes all relevant metocean parameters
• both normal and extreme conditions
(waves, wind, current, water levels)

Old approach
Project-specific, site-specific, structure-specific research
Limited measuring techniques
New approach
For a certain structure shape: setting up of a database for range of hydrodynamic conditions
Improved measuring techniques:
online scour monitoring with cameras inside transparent structures
3D-stereophotography
Generic scour formulations with structure-specific coefficients
Software program
Contribute to Offshore Standards and Codes
Hele innovatie cyclus is aanwezig: van labtesten (grondeigenschappen) naar numerieke en fysieke modellen om zo tot een ontwerp te komen
Soil investigation – contractors
Aardbeving: van Oord ivm landaanwinning
Ballast Nedam
BAM (Gouda) GBS
Suction pile technology (SPT)
Tennet second opinion
Rechtsonder met MPM (Dynamic material point method simulation of shear strains from a sphere shot into clay)
Linksmidden paal: met Abaqus gemodelleerd. Zie ook animatie.
Horizontal directional drilling: analytisch - D-drill(ing)
Kennis data en ervaring is in de loop van de jaren in de software pakketen … en bruikbaar gemaakt voor de markt (bediening)
VSMC & van Oord samenwerking mbt ploegen en numerieke modellering (MPM)
Clients are for instance: Halcrow (ankertrekking over drinkwater in Rio Brasil) & JP Kenny
