Micropiling technology specialist Subsea Micropiles has installed its micropile anchor solution for Orkney Harbour Authority (OHA) in Scotland, adapted to both floating and bottom-fixed offshore wind.
Following a period of intensive development with over $13 million invested in R&D, Subsea Micropiles reached a major technical milestone with the installation of a commercial drilled and grouted micropile anchor in Scotland.
The adaptation of micropiling technology to the offshore sector poses a highly beneficial disruption to the industry, according to the company. Using smaller vessels and remote seabed drilling systems, large construction jobs can be more reliably completed with lower cost, minimal environmental impact and high local content.
The approach led by Subsea Micropiles provides a scalable industrial solution for large projects including offshore wind, both fixed and floating structures. Foundation designs can be adapted for high load regimes across a wide range of soil conditions.
"The technical solution that has been developed by Subsea Micropiles has exceptional potential to become critical infrastructure for floating offshore wind in Scotland.
