“Innotive Foundation Technology” – WOBO thanks the Renewable Energy Magazine and Robin Whitlock for the link.
For the first time ever in the renewables industry special collars will be installed around the monopile foundation at seabed level.
The ‘collared monopile’ is designed based on an RWE patent and will provide additional support for lateral loading, increase the bearing capacity and improve the structural integrity of the entire foundation – especially in difficult ground.
RWE Renewables has signed a contract with DEME Offshore for the transport and installation of the new foundation technology at RWE’s 342-MW Kaskasi offshore wind farm, located in the German North Sea, 35 kilometres north of the island of Heligoland.
