Mitigation of Underwater Pile Driving Noise During Offshore Construction: Final Report

摘要

This report provides the draft final report for the project entitled Mitigation of Underwater Pile Driving Noise During Offshore Construction (Phase 1). This project addresses high level underwater noise generated by pile driving of large monopiles during construction of offshore wind farms. In particular, this work is an analysis effort to establish the relative importance of the three primary transmission paths and to assess the potential effectiveness of several mitigation options.
