Overcoming complex technical challenges in offshore windmill deployment is crucial for industry operators. Increasing pile sizes and moving wind parks farther out to sea help boost energy production and lower the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE). However, these advancements challenge traditional pile foundation connections. Water depth, salinity, currents, winds, and seabed conditions all impact foundation design and installation, affecting risk and durability. Current foundation connection systems lack scalability, adaptability, and pose high HSE risks during installation.
Our windmill foundation system is transforming the offshore wind industry. It reduces costs in production, installation, and scalability while simplifying maintenance. Driven by passionate experts with curiosity and deep knowledge, we are making a real difference in the field.
The Smart PU Slip-Joint for wind turbine foundations, tackles common challenges. This innovative system consists of high-performance polyurethane (PU) elastomer plates placed between connecting conical sections like monopile (MP) and transition piece (TP). The plates are applied onshore, providing easy installation offshore.
With decades of experience, we have perfected PU solutions for various applications in harsh environments requiring high abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and high flexibility of the material used. Our Smart PU Slip-Joint is the latest innovation, ready to tackle offshore wind challenges for operators worldwide.
Our tailored solution provides comprehensive services, including calculation, simulation, material and design development, production, and on-site application of PU plates at the steel manufacturer's location. Our simulation and design experts work closely with steel engineering and wind turbine design teams to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance. This includes customizing PU properties – such as hardness, thickness, and shape – to meet the specific requirements and operating conditions of each turbine foundation.
