Objective
For offshore windfarms or coastal foundations, pile driving technique is often used. But it generates a high level of noise, which severly damages - up to death - marine mammals, fishes and other species. Noise Mitigation Systems (NMS) exist but with limits : high price, weak acoustic efficiency, bad behavior with current, waves and depth...To fill these gaps, we develop an innovative and eco-designed NMS : the SSQ® Pile Driving.It is based on the disruptive membrane Sub Sea Quieter® (inflatable panels of 3D-woven fabric, coated and sealed to insure acoustic efficiency) resulting from 5 years of R&D.Designed like a sock deployed closest and around the pile thanks to a clever manutention system, it aims at becoming the NMS technical reference by its very high acoustic mitigation efficiency, turbidity containment, its cost up to 5 to 10 times cheaper than existing NMS, with no any extra vessel or crane and its adaptability to the most severe site conditions (waves, curent, depth...).
