New whitepaper: Lifting the Future of Monopile Installation
March 7, 2024
The rapid growth of the global wind energy sector, driven by ambitious government targets, is leading to expansion into new offshore locations with deeper water and weaker ground conditions. This, together with increasing turbine sizes and capacities, requires innovative solutions for installing larger and heavier monopiles. TWD has published a white paper on the installation of ‘future monopiles’, providing insight into the challenges and innovative solutions.
Pile Run Parachute (PRP)
February 28, 2024
Meet one of TWD’s innovative designs, the Pile Run Parachute (PRP). It combines materials already commonly used in offshore applications, such as steel wires and geosynthetic materials, to create an inner damper. This reduces the maximum velocity as well as the depth at which the pile run terminates.
