Most of the existing WTGs (Wind Turbine Generators) in North Sea are founded on monopiles, as are the foundations for the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm. The site is located 20 km north of the Norfolk coastline 15-23 m water depth. A total of 88 WTGs will be installed, starting spring 2010.The Sheringham Shoal monopiles have diameters of 4.7 m to 5.7 m, and penetrations between 23 m and 37 m.
