As the offshore wind market is moving into deeper and harsher environments with larger turbines, there is a call for robust and cost-efficient floating foundation technologies.
The SWACH™ Wind (Small Waterplane Area Cylindrical Hull) design is a cylindrical floating foundation for offshore wind turbines. The solution is scalable up to the largest wind turbines and offers excellent motion characteristics in harsh conditions with a lifetime that can be designed for 50 years’ operation.
Excellent motions
- Designed and tested for moderate to harsh environments
- Lower motions maximizes power production
- Stable hull for safe and reliable operations
Scalable
- The SWACH™ Wind concept is scalable and can be optimized to suit the project needs with regards to turbine capacity and the location’s environment
Access
- Two stations for Walk to Work and boat landing provide safe access to the unit
- Good access for crane vessel
