Dr.-Ing. Nils Hinzmann

Nils Hinzmann is a senior geotechnical engineer and offshore wind specialist with extensive experience in experimental soil mechanics and foundation engineering. He works as a research associate at the Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute (BAW), where he focuses on infrastructure and marine geotechnics. His current research addresses the sustainable decommissioning of offshore wind turbine foundations, particularly full monopile removal and related soil-structure interaction. He is actively involved in interdisciplinary research collaborations and contributes technical expertise to strategy development in the context of offshore wind repowering and end-of-life planning.

Offshore Foundations: Focus Day - 26/08/2025

16:00 Room Zürich 3: Workshop D | Decommissioning of offshore foundation piles from a geotechnical perspective

  • Regulatory Framework in Germany: Decommissioning obligations under the WindSeeG and BSH guidelines.
  • Research and Technology Development: Overview of current projects on removal techniques and technology readiness levels.
  • Technical challenges related to full pile removal (set-up effect, structural aging, soil model, pile fatigue, T&I constrains).
  • Current practice and industry experience: e.g. cutting, partial removal, full removal
