Steel is the main cost driver for offshore wind farms. In order to minimize the stress concentration factor and be able to reduce the need for steel, design and engineering giant Rambøll asked us to design an oval seal.
Our cable and pipe sealing experts listened to the thoughts and ideas and developed an oval seal that passed several tests before delivery. The result is nothing but extraordinary: for the wind farm, the steel savings reach 1,000 tons.
“We use oval seals in all our projects now, and we will continue to use them to save tons of steel in all our future projects,” says Christian Lønne, who is responsible for structural design management at Rambøll.
