The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) has announced the approval of €1.896.447 in subsidy for the SIMPLE-IIB project. SIMPLE IIB, the third project of the Silent Installation of Monopiles (SIMPLE) line of projects, will allow GBM Works to further develop its jetting technique and therefore take it one step closer to the application in commercial projects.
Amongst others, SIMPLE IIB's scope includes laboratory tests, manufacturing of prototypes and drivability, axial bearing capacity and scour protection tests. Deltares and Deme Offshore, which were also partners on previous development projects, joined again on SIMPLE IIB. The list of partners is completed by Shell, Eneco and Cape Holland.
