GROW congratulates Vibrotwist
Vibrotwist is the winner of the jury and audience award of the Offshore Wind Innovators Award 2023. The company convinced the jury with their innovative installation method for offshore wind monopiles.
The expert jury consisted of Renske Ytsma of RWE, Olaf Waals of MARIN, and Eva Ferrier of Invest-NL. This diverse panel ensured a comprehensive evaluation from market, research, and investment perspectives.
The solution of Vibrotwist aims to reduce noise emissions during pile driving through axial and torsional vibrations. What set Vibrotwist apart, acording the jury, was its potential to transform the offshore wind sector in both the short and long term. It could reduce ecological impacts by enabling complete End-of-Life recycling of the monopile and enhance the well-being of marine species by reducing sound emissions during installation. Moreover, it showcased effectiveness across various soil types and forecasted significant cost and time reductions in installation and decommissioning processes.
Vibrotwist is one of the project partners who is involved in our Gentle Driving of Piles 2.0 project.
