METHOD FOR INSTALLATION OF A TRANSITION PIECE ON A MONOPILE FOUNDATION
The present invention relates to a method for installation of a transition piece on a monopile foundation of an offshore wind turbine along a common axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the transition piece and the monopile foundation, the installation being done from a floating installation vessel, where the method comprises the following steps of arranging a plurality of buffer elements around an inner circumference of the transition piece and/or the monopile structure, lifting and lowering the transition piece onto the monopile structure by use of a crane, landing the transition piece onto the monopile structure through the plurality of buffer elements, using a number of hydraulic cylinder jacks for circumferential alignment of bolt holes provided in the transition piece and monopile, using alignment tools for alignment of the flanges provided on each of the transition piece and the monopile, installation of flange guide pins and lower bolts, lifting up transition piece and removing the plurality of buffer elements, lower the transition piece onto the monopile, and tensioning the bolts to fixate the transition piece to monopile.
