Extend the Life of Offshore Structures with a Simple Sensor and Smarter Data

September 22, 2025

To ensure safety, designers often rely on conservative fatigue estimations for monopiles during transport and installation. These approaches can result in overdesign, leading to increased steel usage, heavier monopiles, and shorter assumed lifetimes. TWD’s simple sensor solution measures actual transport motions, combining them with innovative data analysis and detailed engineering models. This unlocks the potential to optimize monopile transport fatigue budgeting—allowing for longer service lifetimes or more cost-efficient monopile and seafastening designs.

Mitigating Pile Run: Demonstrating Pile Run Parachute (PRP) Technology

June 10, 2025

As the industry moves toward larger turbines and more challenging waters, the complexity of foundation installation grows—and with it, the need for robust pile run strategies. TWD has developed an R&D solution to address this challenge: the Pile Run Parachute (PRP). This internal damping system is designed to slow down a falling monopile during a pile run event, thereby protecting both equipment and personnel.
