Abstract
The title of this keynote address is ‘Offshore Foundation Safety’. This is a wide subject and could be controversial, however nothing I am going to say is particularly new rather I am going to present old information with a new emphasis. I will be concentrating on the UK offshore sector but the principles that I will be elaborating on are the same worldwide.
