Offshore Foundations, Conference Day 1 | Tuesday, 25th August 2026

12:10 Lifetime Extension of Offshore Wind Foundations: Data Driven Optimisation of Design Models


• Integration of long term monitoring, inspection and hindcast datasets to establish an asis data foundation for lifetime extension assessment
• Development of data informed design envelope models capturing both typical and temporary extreme conditions
• Application of calibrated integrated load and soil–structure interaction analyses to reduce conservatism while maintaining structural and geotechnical integrity
• Demonstration of how targeted mitigation, inspection strategies and exposure control can enable safe extension of foundation lifetime beyond original design assumptions
