The research project Sealance examines a novel pile foundation technology for offshore support structures. This support structure is cost-efficient, can be scaled flexibly and produces considerably reduced noise emissions during placement in the sea bed. In the support structure test center, first large-scale installation trials and then load-bearing tests will be carried out, including with prior cyclic loading.
