- This paper, which won the ICE’s 2019 Offshore (Hislop) Award, addresses crucial knowledge-gaps concerning driveability, static-capacity and response to cyclic-loading for piles driven in chalk to support offshore wind-turbines, bridges and ports across NW-Europe. The work was part of a £1.22m Imperial College Innovate-UK (Ref 101968) Scottish-Power-Renewables and GCG project that included full-scale field tests (reported in Jardine’s 2016 Rankine-Lecture) and saved tens of €m savings for the Wikinger Baltic windfarm (contact:FoEREF@ic.ac.uk). Preliminary design methods, proposed in Jardine’s 2018 BGA Chalk Conference keynote, are being extended through the £1.8m ALPACA project involving Oxford, EPSRC (EP/P033091/1) and 11 Industrial Partners.
