Hydraulic Hammer after
piling monopile into the seabed
Pile driving is a fast process, and
piles are relatively inexpensive to produce. Geotechnical
surveys at Kentish Flats shows that the seabed consists
of layers of sand and not too dense clay, which makes mono-pile
foundations particularly attractive.
The foundation ramming takes approx
two hours for each monopile. Under certain weather conditions
the noise from the ramming might be audible from land. |
