Call for entries from companies and consortia interested to undertake a study that aims to define a robust, optimised, and certifiable, design guidance for driven, drive-drill-drive, drilled and grouted pile installation in weak rock.
The main objectives of this work are to:
- Identify knowledge gaps associated with offshore wind pile installation in weak rock on a global scale
- Define a robust, optimised, and certifiable, design methodology for driven, drive-drill-drive, drilled and grouted (with sacrificial casing and without) pile installation in weak rock:
- Without reliance on location specific load testing;
- Without reliance on novel or unproven testing processes;
- Without reliance on impracticable drilling/installation practices;
- Define a procedure that considers, then selects appropriate installation procedures in cognisance of the above
