TWD test pile run parachute system for offshore wind foundations
- Details
- Category: Product News
Dutch engineering company TWD has developed a new internal parachute system designed to reduce pile run risks during offshore wind foundation installation, with testing carried out at Marin. Pile run occurs when a monopile or pin pile suddenly penetrates the seabed faster than intended after losing soil resistance, generating high loads on installation equipment and creating safety risks for vessels and personnel.
Vestas test red turbine blades to study seabird avoidance at offshore wind farms
- Details
- Category: Product News
Vestas is supporting a field study using red-coated turbine blades to examine whether increased blade visibility can reduce potential impacts on seabirds at offshore wind farms. Monitoring at several offshore wind farms in recent years has shown that collisions between seabirds and wind turbines are generally rare, as birds typically detect and avoid the rotor area. However, further research is continuing to help minimise potential impacts and support the wider deployment of offshore wind.
