SIMOX Searches for Innovations in Offshore Foundation Installation

Within 5 years, the GROW research project SIMOX (Sustainable Installation of XXL Monopiles) aims to have innovative technologies for the installation of large wind turbines commercially available.

By testing multiple techniques, SIMOX will develop new and necessary technical and environmental knowledge. Such techniques must enable the installation and decommissioning of XXL monopiles for very large offshore wind turbines in a sustainable, cost-effective, societally and environmentally acceptable manner. At the beginning of February, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) decided to support this project. The participating companies are investing 2 million euro in this project and the government is contributing 4 million euro. Current installation methods for monopiles... ...
