More than two gigawatts of wind power capacity has been installed offshore Europe in the past 20 years and the application of that experience is rapidly spreading to other parts of the globe. Differing environmental (loading) and geological (foundation resistance) conditions require that this experience related to foundation design and construction be extrapolated within a rational framework based on engineering mechanics. The vast global experience from the offshore oil and gas (O&G) industry can help guide the extrapolation of this experience.
