GDP 2.0: Field test at Ruijgoord
The GDP 2.0 project has taken a next step in testing its innovative monopile installation method. At the Ruijgoord site – well known from the earlier SIMOX project – the team tested the technology with a 2.2 m diameter, 26 m long monopile. This large-scale field test is crucial on the path to upscaling the technology for offshore applications.
To refresh your memory, Gentle Diving of Piles applies simultaneous low-frequency vertical and high-frequency torsional vibrations as the driving mechanism on the monopile.
