— Monopile foundation
• Up to 30-40m water depth
• Most often used in offshore wind farms
• Tubular steel structure
• Driven into seabed with hydraulic hammer
• Transition piece (grouted) to connect tower
• Scour protection to prevent erosion of the
seabed
• Heaviest monopile today:
— 1 300 ton
— 7,8m diameter
— 83 m long
