The innovative scour protection system that can help reduce costs and carbon footprint in offshore wind turbine operations.
Offshore wind power is a fast-growing solution in the global demand for clean, renewable energy. Monopiles, thick steel cylinders used in installations to 55msw, are typically used to support turbine towers. However, these structures are often subject to scour phenomena, leading to instability, cable damage or cable failure. To mitigate these consequences, scour protection is used.
Balmoral HexDefence is a unique scour protection system that integrates seabed protection and flow reduction, reducing offshore operational costs and potential cable failure.
Made from lightweight GRP construction, our globally patented system offers a non-invasive approach to protecting the monopile structure and surrounding seabed, eliminating the need to dump rock, resulting in a lower carbon footprint.
