Abstract: Vibro piling equipment exists for decate. The silent method of foundaton installation brings great benefits for urban areas as well as in environmentally sensitive areas for the wildlife (e.g. marine mamals). By combining this technology with other innovative ideas the safety and efficiency of foundation installation is brought to a much higher level. For instance combining the functionality of a certified pile lifitng device to allow upending and placing the pile, avoiding tool change in height, (dis-)connecting slings in unstable condition does not only increase the speed of foundation installation but also avoids safety hazards. Triggered by offshore safety standards these inovative ideas are now also available for coastal/onshore projects to increase safety and efficiency and ultimately leading to cost savings. The paper is also going to address predictability of vibro installation and innovative solutions combining different installation technologies to increase driveability success.
