  • 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 […]

  • Big, Bigger, Giantic – XL vibratory technology

    7 October 2013

    Minimising the impacts of underwater noise from piling activities is an important environmental issue.

Up to now the offshore wind industry has used hammers to carry out this work. Dutch engineering company Dieseko Group is […]

  • Cost reduction: Safety is safety in any language

    8 August 2013

    Offshore wind power is about as pure as energy generation gets. However, it is frustrating that statutory regulations in a key area, the deployment of novel vessels that service the industry, muddy these crystal waters. While a wind farm is rooted to the seabed, generating clean energy for decades to come, owners and operators may wish to transport their valuable project experience […]
