OFFSHORE FOUNDATIONS OF THE MARINE EXPLOITATION SUBSTRUCTURE (GULF OF MEXICO, 2018-2019)

PRO GEO has designed the temporary offshore foundations (Mudmat Type) of the maritime exploitation substructure in the Gulf of Mexico. For this purpose, the finite element program Plaxis 2D has been used.

The design has been made for different locations and therefore, different geotechnical profiles.

PRO GEO’s underground design expertise has helped our clients with the following issues:

  • Geotechnical parameters estimation from CPTU tests.
  • Foundations two-dimensional geomechanical modeling in 2D Plaxis.
  • Development of the failure reference envelope for strip, square, rectangular and triangular foundations.
