The XXL monopile is the most preferred foundation since the supply chain is strong, costs are relatively low and installation is relatively easy. XXL Monopiles have adjusted designs and create new design and installation challenges. For example, their bottom diameter will be over 10 meters wide, while their walls are relatively thin. And the transition piece less design contains more secondary steel susceptible to fatigue. This requires a new way of handling, lifting, and piling. Designing a wind turbines’ monopile is often reserved for late in the development process. Because of this, IQIP is looking to partner up with the designers earlier in the process, ensuring methods and equipment are compatible with XXL monopiles. IQIP is ready for the next generation of wind energy!
