Calling for entries from companies and consortia interested to undertake a study to investigate monopile driveability through vibratory pile driving for large monopiles.

The main objectives of this work are to:

• provide information about possible difficult conditions or limitations with vibratory pile driving and what alternative or mitigation options compliant with low noise requirements to choose;
• produce a guidance report with recommended practices or considerations for various scenarios, based on the latest literature evidence, new research and the leverage of data from past experiences in this or other relevant industries (e.g. onshore construction, oil and gas).
