Is this course right for me?
This course is right for you if:
✔️ You are a professional in offshore, hydraulics, hydrodynamics, geotechnics, or engineering management
✔️ You work with the design, installation, and commissioning of marine structures or as a researcher in coastal, ocean, and marine civil engineering
✔️ Your schedule allows you to allocate two hours to complete assignments for each module
✔️ You are interested in scour and scour protection for marine and offshore applications.
What are my expected outcomes?
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:
✔️ Identify scour issues
✔️ Assess scour risk
✔️ Determine mitigation solutions for different marine structures
✔️ Understand the last decade of research and development within the field of marine scour
How will I learn?
This course includes four modules conducted via online live sessions by our qualified trainer. You will learn through a combination of instructor-led lectures, demonstration videos and quizzes, hands-on exercises and reading materials.
Throughout the course, you will have ample time to discuss tips & tricks, best practices and examples with your instructor and fellow participants.
A major part of the online sessions is allocated to group work, which is based on home assignments set by your trainer. For maximum benefits, you are strongly advised to allocate a minimum of two hours of self-study for each of the five modules. There will be no homework for the one-hour online introduction to the structure and methodology of the course.
Modules
This online course is divided into four 2-hour sessions hosted from 07:00-09:00 UTC.
7 May 2024 (Tuesday)
Introduction | Course structure and methodology

Instructors
Anders is a senior hydraulic engineer with over 15 years of experience in hydrodynamics around offshore structures, focusing on scour and scour protection. He is deeply involved in scour protection optimisation processes and was instrumental in developing the industry-recognised single-graded scour protection method. Anders is adept in wave loads on offshore structures and has been involved in commercial and research projects applying both physical and numerical model testing.
