Incidents of unpredicted, and often adverse, jack-up foundation performance continue to occur regularly, while the safety records of other jack-up activities, such as towing, drilling, structural fatigue, collision, fire and blow-outs have improved significantly. Even with comprehensive site assessment procedures in place, and at a time when the jack-up industry is increasingly focused on the control of risks, foundation incidents continue to occur.To address these issues a Joint Industry Funded Project (
