Welcome to the 5th International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG)
9TH-13TH JUNE 2025
in Nantes, France
Discover the forefront of offshore geotechnics at the 5th International Symposium on Frontiers in Offshore Geotechnics (ISFOG) hosted by the University Gustave Eiffel, from June 9-13, 2025, in Nantes, France, at La Cité Nantes Congress Centre.
Join industry leaders, researchers, and experts for an unparalleled experience, building on the success of our previous symposiums in Austin, Texas (2022), Oslo, Norway (2015) and Perth, Australia (2005, 2010). With the support of the ISSMGE, represented by the French geotechnical society (CFMS), this event is organized by a French mirror group of the TC209 and will provide a global perspective on offshore geotechnics.
Mains topics of lectures:
ISFOG 2025 will highlight cutting-edge technologies, with a spotlight on the evolving landscape of offshore renewables, including the shift to floating wind farms. Explore geotechnical challenges faced by both the oil and gas and wind industries, with insights delivered by a distinguished speaker in the 7th Honorary McClelland lecture.
Conferences themes will include:
- Site investigation strategies, geohazards and integrated studies
- Site characterisation, in-situ and laboratory testing, measurement
- Constitutive models and soil behaviour modelling
- Ground models
- Data Analytics and Machine Learning
- Pile Installation Challenges and Decommissioning in sands and clays: monopiles, anchor piles, pin piles
- Pile design and installation in challenging soil conditions: glauconite, carbonated soils, cemented soils, gravels and rocks
- Monopile design to lateral monotonic loads
- Monopile design to cyclic loads: quasi-static, dynamic and seismic loads
- Jacket pin piles design: capacity, long-term cyclic loading, seismic loads
- Suction-installed foundations and anchors
- Gravity base foundations, Drag and Plate Anchors
- Developmental foundation and anchoring concepts: hybrid foundations, ring anchors, helical piles, torpedo, shared anchoring
- Spudcans: penetration, extraction, interactions
- Mooring lines, Cables, Pipelines, Immersed tunnels and Risers
- Trenching, ploughing, excavation and burial
- Design Standards, Certification and Risk Mitigatio
