MSc Assignment – Noise mitigation modeling

2 weken geleden

Papendrecht, Nederland Boskalis Voltijd
Job Description

Boskalis, a leading offshore contractor, is dedicated to sustainable and environmentally responsible operations. Offshore construction activities like pile driving are crucial for developing infrastructure such as offshore wind farms and oil and gas platforms, but they generate significant underwater noise that can harm marine life. Marine organisms rely on sound for essential functions like communication and navigation, and elevated noise levels can disrupt these behaviors, impacting marine ecosystems.

To tackle this issue, Boskalis has implemented innovative noise mitigation techniques, including bubble curtains, cofferdams, and acoustic screens, to reduce underwater noise during pile driving. This MSc assignment will investigate the comparative behavior of these noise mitigation systems, focusing on their working principles, design factors, and modeling methods. The study aims to optimize these systems to improve efficiency and reduce uncertainty in mitigating offshore piling noise, leveraging Boskalis' expertise and commitment to sustainable offshore projects. The insights gained will help design and implement more effective noise mitigation strategies in future offshore construction projects.

To gain more knowledge on the comparative behavior of various noise mitigation systems around the monopile, the following research questions need to be investigated in more detail: 

  • What are the fundamental working principles of different noise mitigation systems, such as ADBM, HSD, sleeve and SBC? 
  • How does the performance of different noise mitigation systems compare under similar conditions? 
  • What are the key factors driving the design and implementation of more effective noise mitigation strategies in offshore construction projects? 
  • What methods can be used to model the behavior of these noise mitigation systems, both experimentally and numerically? 
  • How can these noise mitigation systems be optimized to better suit various circumstances in offshore construction projects? 

Qualifications

You can make your mark as an intern or graduation student if: 

  • You are currently enrolled in a Dutch university and completing your master in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, offshore engineering, or a related field; 
  • You have a proactive approach to integrate within the team and company. It is very important to have a drive for curiosity and learning; 
  • You have affinity for numerical simulation of vibrations, sound propagation or mechanical systems; experience with software tools used in these areas is a plus; 
  • You are independent, result-oriented, and analytical behavior, with strong problem-solving skills; 
  • You have good command of written and spoken English.


Additional Information

  • Warm welcome: You can count on a warm welcome so that you quickly feel at home at Boskalis. 
  • Salary and more: As a student, you will receive a student allowance. In addition, we offer a fun work environment with lots of challenges. 
  • A dynamic work environment: An internship where you can learn a lot from a leading company and where you will be part of a diverse team of experts. 
  • Young Boskalis: Are you younger than 36? Then join Young Boskalis Monthly social and sporting activities ranging from pub quizzes, yoga, boot camps, and an annual sailboat race. Networking and knowledge sharing are also an important part of Young Boskalis.
