Roxtec in the UK has supplied Orbital Marine Power with a range of cable sealing solutions to support construction of the world’s most powerful tidal turbine, the Orbital O2 2MW.

Our transits are being used to create dustproof and watertight seals where electrical control and instrumentation cables pass through compartments in the turbine’s hull, and between its nacelles and pitching hubs.

“It is great to have access to the expertise, understanding and proven capabilities of suppliers like Roxtec; it helps make our lives easier and our product better, so we were more than happy to continue our relationship with Roxtec in developing solutions for the O2,” says Andrew Scott, Orbital’s CEO.
