The COFS poster Geotechnical Performance of Dynamically Installed Anchors in Soft Clay by Colm O'Beirne, Conleth O'Loughlin and Christophe Gaudin was a joint winner for the best poster award at the National Workshop on Transport and Energy Infrastructure on 19 November 2014.

Dynamically Installed Anchors (DEAs) emerged in the late 1990s as a cost effective mooring solution. DEAs embed themselves below the mudline by using gravity to free-fall through water. Flukes, which are positioned towards the upper end of the anchor, enhance hydrodynamic stability and frictional uplift capacity.
