Utilising only a single camera, these marker blocks from @Photron_HSV allow us to measure pile displacement in 3D space to an accuracy of <1mm. Greatly appreciating the simplicity of the setup! @UWAresearch
Install trials of an offshore pipe section in a Gulf of Mexico clay. Keeping our model small to reduce drainage paths and monitoring consolidation times closely with a pore pressure transducer at the invert. Can’t wait to see some cycling data (coming soon). FUN! @UWAresearch
Hypnotising work by @COFS researcher Juliano Nietiedt, working with @ChrisGaudinCOFS and Mark Randolph on driving monopiles through scour protection as part of our research into pile tip damage and extrusion buckling for offshore wind. @UWAresearch
Its not silly if it works! It can get interesting pouring Kaolin slurry into a new sample. Takes a real team effort to make sure the intricate model's aren't disturbed. @UWAresearch
