PILE DRIVING METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DRIVING A PILE
A pile driving method for driving a pile, e.g. a hollow and open ended pile, e.g. a large diameter pile having an outer diameter of at least 5 meters, e.g. a monopile of an offshore wind turbine, into the soil, e.g. into the seabed. Use is made of a pile driving system which comprises a drive head member that is configured to engage the pile, and a solid mass drop weight assembly comprising a support structure and comprising solid drop weight elements supported by said support structure, preferably solid steel drop weight elements being composed of steel elements, e.g. stackable steel elements, which drop weight elements have a total mass of at least 100 tonnes, e.g. more than 500 tonnes, e.g. more than 1000 tonnes, e.g. more than 2000 tonnes, which drop weight assembly is vertically mobile relative to, e.g. above, the drive head member. Further use is made of a lift system that is configured to bring the drop weight assembly into an initial height position relative to the drive head, and a quick release system adapted to effect quick release
