EVOKED - re-frame the risk and uncertainty associated with climate data

The objective of EVOKED is to re-frame the risk and uncertainty associated with climate data into knowledge products more understandable and useful for end-users concerned with risk mitigation and adaptation. EVOKED places the user's knowledge needs at the forefront as the driver for further specification of climate data to enhance the end-users to respond to climate change impacts.

GEOreCIRC

The main aim of the GEOreCIRC research project is to develop methods to reduce the amount of landfill material and encourage reuse. The project will focus on increasing the reuse of excess and waste materials from building and construction projects that are considered clean and potentially reused.

Research Project / 2017 - 2019

MERRIC - erosion risk

The scope of the MERRIC project is to perform research on processes relevant for erosion risk, i.e. processes influencing the probability and/or extent of erosion as well as the consequences of erosion. Another main goal is to develop knowledge and tools that can help our clients, and society at large, to reduce property damage and potential loss of life due to erosion.

New viking ship museum - geotechnics and vibration analyses

A new, modern Viking Age museum will be built onto the existing Viking Ship building at Bygdøy in Oslo. The irreplaceable collections make it necessary to severely limit vibrations throughout the construction period, from the start of construction until the Viking treasures have been moved into the new building. NGI is the geotechnical consultant for this work.

Research Project / 2017 - 2021

Reducing negative impact of PFAS

Desk, lab and field work to investigate the fate and behaviour of PFAS in the environment, specifically focusing on Norwegian case study sites.

BegrensSkade II / REMEDY - Risk Reduction of Groundwork Damage

This R&D program has the aim to reduce the risk of damage caused by groundwork (excavation, foundation and construction work) during and after execution of a project, and the risk of damage to neighbouring structures.

Consulting Project / 2017 - 2019

Testing offshore piles in Taiwan

When a wind turbine park was to be built off the coast of Taiwan with traditional jackets with pile foundation, the client wanted a full-scale field test of the pile capacity before final design and installation. NGI was given responsibility for instrumentation and implementation of the pile tests.

Research Project / 2017 - 2020

TIGHT - high-pressure rock mass injection

TIGHT will contribute to further developing the Norwegian injection tradition that has been in use for many decades already, and at the same time build up greater real competence related to what physically happens in the rock mass when it is subjected to high-pressure injection.
