In 2011, within the BARD Offshore 1 wind farm, the Offshore Test 1 (OFT 1) campaign was carried out to test a novel underwater noise protection system during pile driving. A Small Bubble Curtain (SBC) was deployed around the piling pipe, and the monitoring confirmed that using the SBC clearly reduced noise emissions generated during installation of the tripile foundations at the far‑offshore site in the German North Sea.
