Avalanche research

Avalanche research aims to increase our knowledge of avalanches to reduce society's losses concerning this natural hazard. We collaborate closely with the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE), and avalanche research institutes in Switzerland and Austria. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the Norwegian National Rail Administration are examples of public agencies collaborating with partners and users of NGI's avalanche research results.

SP 15 On safe ground

Quick clay landslides are highly mobile and retrogressive, posing significant risks to people, infrastructure, ecosystems, and biodiversity. In Norway, where 75% of the population lives in areas with quick clay, development in these regions is necessary, creating challenges for authorities, planners, and stakeholders.

WINDRISE - An integrated value chain for sustainable and up-scaled production, transport and installation of offshore wind substructures

WINDRISE is an innovation project that will bring together leading Norwegian stakeholders in the value chain from design, production, transport and installation of bottom-fixed substructures for offshore wind to enable scaling up and accelerated distribution of large offshore wind farms.

Consulting Project / 2022 - 2022

Anchor Design - Scarborough FPU

Working on behalf of McDermott in Australia, NGI performed the detailed geotechnical design of the suction anchors to moor the Scarborough Floating Production Unit, which will process the natural gas before it is transported back to shore.

Research Project / 2022 - 2026

DINAMINE - Digital and innovative mine of the future

DINAMINE is an Innovation Action granted under Horizon Europe, the EU's key funding program for research and innovation. DINAMINE will develop and showcase how innovative solutions and digital technology, such as robots, artificial intelligence, and automation, can make small and medium-sized mines more efficient and sustainable.

Energy sheet pile wall at Campus Ullevaal

The energy sheet pile wall at Campus Ullevaal is a full-scale innovation project that tests a new energy solution for using the soil in the ground as a sustainable and stable thermal energy store. Surplus energy, in the form of heat and cold, can be stored in the sheet pile wall for later use. ENOVA has awarded the solution 50% investment support within the program Full-scale Innovative Energy and Climate Technology.
