LCE was appointed to carry out analysis of pile damage to determine the root cause i.e., were the piles too weak or was the ship at fault. The project included a structural assessment of existing historic steel monopiles, appraisal of potential refurbishment solutions, and feasibility assessment of each option.
Scope Description:
Marine structural assessment and back analysis of collision loading
Structural analysis and design of monopile
Hydrodynamic load assessment (Wave & Current)

Scheme options for repair of damaged monopile
