- Additional information
- This output describes the requirements for piles supporting jacket substructures for offshore wind turbines at deeper water sites and develops new (silent) screw pile designs for such applications. It validates practical prediction methods for installation requirements based on commonly-available in-situ data (CPT) and develops capacity prediction methods that can be used in routine design. The output arose from the EPSRC Supergen Wind Grand Challenge 2015 (EP/N006054/1) and led to follow-on service work (£93k) with Heerema Marine Contractors (Netherlands) underpinning first stage statements of compliance (Det Norske Veritas) for commercially viable offshore silent piling.
