Meet the team who loves spinning around monopiles. The monopile foundations of wind turbines are subject to repeated (cyclic) loading by wind and waves. These forces are transferred from the…
1. The double bubble keeping sea life out of trouble - MARIN
Offshore wind installations might be a wonderful solution to a serious problem for humans, the underwater sea life is now negatively impacted instead. Linda Kemp, project manager at MARIN shows how bubbles can prevent wind turbine installation noise that harms sea life. This is, she stresses, a “really nice topic to work on”, and it’s especially “fascinating to do new things, with an aim to protect the sea life and to improve the sustainability of the ocean.”
