  • TWD Proved Higher MP Friction

    22 September 2020

    Over the course of the last years TWD developed an advanced friction measurement method and probabilistic verification of monopile stability during transit. Both have now received certification from DNVGL. This sets a new standard in monopile seafastening. Seafastening of future monopiles on heavy lift installation vessels becomes an ever-increasing challenge. One challenge is verification of […]
