Project Abstract
Along with facilitating greater access to off-shore wind, micropiling will minimise vessel traffic and associated greenhouse gas emissions, and has a proven track record as a low-impact, low-noise and low-vibration alternative to other soil interventions with minimal acoustic impact or seabed disturbances expected compared with conventional piling.
