Osonic™ has achieved a major milestone with the award of Qualified Technology status from DNV for the design methodology of jetted monopiles installed in sand.
“The DNV qualification is an important independent validation of Osonic’s structural performance,” says Martin Méchali, CTO and Vice President. “It confirms that the technology performs in line with established offshore wind design principles and marks a key step toward large-scale industry deployment.”
DNV is one of the world’s leading independent assurance and risk management organizations for the energy and maritime sectors. Its technology qualification process, conducted under the DNV-SE-0190 certification scheme, provides structured third-party verification that new technologies perform safely and predictably under real operating conditions. DNV qualification is widely recognized by developers, certifying bodies, insurers, and lenders as a key step toward commercial deployment.
What the Qualification Covers The DNV qualification confirms that monopiles installed using Osonic’s high-pressure water jetting method meet geotechnical design requirements for:
Low-Noise Installation - Proven at Full Scale
Osonic™ enables installation of next-generation XXL monopiles with up to 99% lower underwater noise compared to traditional impact driving - addressing one of the key environmental challenges in offshore wind construction.
In 2023, the technology was demonstrated through the successful installation of three full-scale monopiles at the operational Gode Wind 03 offshore wind farm.
With DNV’s independent qualification now in place, Osonic™ is positioned for deployment at wind farm scale, combining structural robustness with significantly reduced underwater noise emissions.
This milestone marks an important step in advancing low-noise foundation installation as a commercially viable solution for the offshore wind industry.
