The research activities in this project are aimed at developing in-situ techniques for aiding vibration piling technology. Installation of large, so-called XL monopiles using vibration techniques can accelerate installation work, considerably reduce noise emissions, and minimize the pile damage caused by installation work. However, only very little is known at present about the effects of vibrations on soil properties, soil structure, and the final pile bearing capacity. Hence, the focus of this project is on investigating and clarifying these effects by means of site investigation prior pile installation and pile monitoring campaigns.
