In this Joint-Industry-Project the entire value around offshore scour protections is working together to develop new knowledge and design tools. Five offshore contractors, seven major utilities, seven designers and suppliers of scour protection materials and systems are cooperating with reserach institute Deltares and certifying body DNV GL, who together are responsible for coordination of all Work Packages; see Figure 3. Every participant has appointed a representative in the Steering Committee consists. This Joint-Industry-Project is supported by two consortia for knowledge and innovation (Topconsortia voor Kennis en Innovatie, TKI's), namely TKI-Wind op Zee (part of Topsector Energy) and TKI-Deltatechnologie (part of Topsector Water) and as such this project is (one of) the first cross-over projects between Topsector Energy and Topsector Water.

Main deliverables
The deliverables of the JIP HaSPro include new design formulae, an online digital handbook of best practices for scour protection design, installation, operation & maintenance, Recommended Practice by DNV GL and an engineering software design tool for the considered scour protection methods during this research project. Moreover, a large database with model test results, containing 3D-data of scour protection layouts and deformation patterns, as well as a 3D-viewer to visualize these results are included in the deliverables of this Joint Industry Project.
