Abstract

The invention relates to structures, such as offshore structures, associated apparatus and methods. For example, the invention can relate to wind turbine structures, such as piles for offshore wind turbines, and associated apparatus and methods. In some examples, the invention relates to guide apparatus for offshore piles having a guide portion configured to provide an acoustic barrier between a pile and a surrounding body of water during deployment of a pile at a body of water. The apparatus may comprise a dampening structure, such as inflatable bladders, or the like, configured to provide the acoustic barrier. In some example, the guide apparatus comprises a piling template, configured to be positioned on a water floor, so that the guide portion can locate, and be positioned with, the template to allow for guiding of a pile to a water floor.
