About this position

Offshore wind decommissioning is entering a critical phase as volumes increase while practical experience remains limited. Methods applied to early-generation wind farms are unlikely to be directly transferable to today’s larger and more complex monopile-supported turbines, creating significant uncertainty around feasibility, safety, and execution. This master’s thesis focuses on the engineering feasibility of an innovative monopile removal concept, with the primary objective of feasibility and under which environmental and operational conditions it can be safely applied. The work is strongly engineering-driven, addressing structural behaviour, hydrodynamic loading, soil interaction, and operational constraints under realistic offshore conditions.
