Ecowende is testing alternative monopile installation methods at its offshore wind farm in the Dutch North Sea, working with CAPE Holland and GBM Works. The trials focus on vibro-based techniques intended to reduce underwater noise during the installation of large-diameter monopiles. As offshore wind turbines increase in size, monopiles have become larger and heavier, increasing the underwater noise associated with conventional impact pile driving. Such noise can affect marine mammals, including harbour porpoises, even where mitigation measures are applied. The project is assessing whether vibro-based installation methods can reduce these effects while remaining technically viable in dense seabed conditions.

Iberdrola has chosen a protective coating developed by Seville-based Revestimientos Técnicos Sostenibles (RTS) for the 21 transition pieces at its Windanker offshore wind farm, currently under construction in the Baltic Sea. The transition pieces have been coated with a natural cork-based compound designed to withstand harsh marine conditions.
