New connector type for large diameter wind towers
Unique value proposition (UVP)
Current bolted flange concept used for offshore windmills has weaknesses and there are room for improvements. SubseaDesign are developing a clamp type connector which has a number of advantages compared to the traditionally bolted flanges: - Substantially higher structural capacity - Close to unlimited scaling capability - Superior fatigue capabilities - Installation friendly - Less sensitive versus fabrication tolerances - Improved HSE compared to T-flanges - Comparatively faster make-up time because of lower number of bolts
Key Benefits
- The clamp type connector significantly increases structural capacity and fatigue resistance, ensuring longer-lasting and more reliable offshore windmill installations.
- Its scalable and installation-friendly design simplifies adaptation and expansion, reducing setup and maintenance time and complexity.
- Enhanced HSE features and reduced bolt count accelerate assembly and minimize safety risks, boosting operational efficiency and compliance.
