Innovative Directions for Jacket and Pin Pile Installation

March 3, 2025

As the industry continues to evolve, exploring innovative design directions is essential to address the challenges posed by transporting and installing larger turbines and foundations. Achieving optimal installation methods for these larger pin piles asks for a holistic approach that considers project-specific parameters, vessel capabilities, and installation efficiency. Key factors include location, water depth, soil conditions, and environmental factors. Additionally, the capabilities and availability of installation vessels, along with operational costs, are crucial considerations.

The Impact of Dynamics on Template Design in Offshore Wind Projects

February 7, 2025

In a commercial-scale offshore wind farm, numerous jacket foundations must be installed. With each jacket requiring multiple pin piles, this leads to a large number of piles that need to be installed in series. Since this cannot be done in a one-off operation and taking into account the high costs of expensive assets, one cannot wait for good weather. Therefore, having good workability is crucial for both offshore wind contractors and developers.

Holistic Approach to Determine an Optimal Method for Installing Pin Piles

January 16, 2025

Achieving an optimal installation method requires a holistic approach that considers various factors, including project-specific details, vessel capabilities and installation efficiency. This article explores these factors in detail to help determine the best installation method for pin piles.

The Evolution of Pre-Piling Templates

January 2, 2025

One of the most notable trends in the offshore wind industry is the steady increase in turbine size, leading to larger jacket foundations. As turbines grow larger and move into deeper waters, the templates and pin piles that are uses for the installation of jacket foundation have evolved considerably. In this article we take a closer look at the market trends and challenges related to these changes.
