The new BAM Report has been published, presenting selected research projects on future safety-related topics. One of the featured projects examines how offshore wind monopiles can use less steel while achieving a longer service life. Offshore wind farms require large quantities of steel for their foundations. Most offshore wind turbines are installed on monopiles, large steel tubes that can exceed 100 metres in length and reach up to 12 metres in diameter. A single monopile can require more than 2,000 tonnes of steel. Corrosion and continuous mechanical loading currently limit their operational life to around 30 years.
