EnBW is enabling the full-scale trial at its Dreekant project site as part of its efforts to support new foundation technologies, IQIP said on 21 April. Vattenfall, also a consortium partner in the EQ-Piling demonstration project, will gain access to data from the installation to assess the system for future projects.
According to the partners, the offshore demonstration will validate whether EQ-Piling can meet industry requirements for installation accuracy, noise limits and efficiency, while offering a scalable, lower-impact alternative to conventional piling methods.
