At the beginning of 2019, SPT Offshore was contracted by the Danish Contractor Per Aarsleff to assist with the Changhua Offshore Pile Test campaign, offshore Taiwan. SPT contributed by building a dedicated suction pump system to control installation of the Pile Guide Frame (PGF) which was founded on suction piles. SPT Offshore provided detailed design of the suction piles, developed a project-specific pump system and assisted during the offshore campaign for repetitive installations of the PGF. This contributed to a successful completion of the project.
The offshore pile test campaign is an integral component of a Taiwan research project for the development of offshore wind in Changhua and its key technologies.
