    The document outlines the steps for installing a monopile foundation for an offshore wind turbine. It involves using a jack-up platform to: 1) drill through marine sediments and glacial till to reach bedrock, 2) install a permanent casing into the bedrock, and 3) lower the monopile into the casing and concrete it in place with an annulus around the outside for stability. Boulders may be encountered during drilling that require removal.
