Well-established codes and practices (oil and gas)Structures typically supported by 3 or 4 legs
Single pile through each leg“Skirt” piles around each leg
But, unlike an offshore platform,Turbines exert much higher live loads (shear and bending)Cyclic loading of near-surface soils more importantPotential for loss of soil contact near surface (post-holing)
Much higher volume jobs (I.e. not one-offs)
Nearshore works practice (jetties, etc.) important reference
