About Constructions and operations

Mission: We aim to develop knowledge to ensure sustainable and resilient infrastructures (as products and systems) for ocean and coast environment, with an emphasis on their holistic and life-cycle design, production, maintenance and decommissioning.

The focus will be on the development and implementation of new and improved technological and business solutions, as well as their efficient and secure production systems and value chains, considering both societal development and environmental protection of ocean and coast. 

The team will also emphasize the use of principles as circular economy, Re-strategies (Re-use, Re-manufacturing, Re-…) and the safe decommissioning of existing structures to minimize environmental impact and maximize resource utilization.

Examples of infrastructures: fish farms, offshore wind farms, offshore oil and gas platforms, floating structure, onshore facilities etc.
