Offshore Cable Burial: How deep is deep enough?

This Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)-funded research project (grant reference EP/W000970/1) is a collaboration between Durham University, the University of Dundee and the Britical Geological Survey. The project is led by Professor Will Coombs at Durham University and will run between February 2022 and July 2025. The research supported by a team of industrial partners, including: Bruce Anchors, Cathie Associates, Global Offshore, Lloyds Register, Orsted and The Crown Estate.
