Centre for offshore Foundation systems

UWA’s Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems has a long history of undertaking fundamental and applied research in offshore geotechnics.

Located within the School of Earth and Oceans, we take a multi-disciplinary approach to our research, working alongside experts in hydrodynamics, sediment mobility, coastal engineering and physical oceanography.

Since its inception in 1997, COFS has worked with international partners – that include universities, governments, research institutions and industry (operators/developers, contractors, consultants and certifying bodies) – to better understand natural seabed sediments and optimise the performance of foundation systems and seabed infrastructure.

Interested in working with a large team of globally renowned experts in geotechnical engineering on projects with active industry involvement?
