RWE-patented technology to be deployed for the first time at RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm
New monopile foundation collars increase load-bearing capacity
Offshore construction works to start in Q3/2021; Start of commercial operation planned for summer 2022
An innovative foundation technology is to be introduced at RWE’s Kaskasi offshore wind farm. For the first time ever in the renewables industry special collars will be installed around the monopile foundation at seabed level. The ‘collared monopile’ is designed based on a RWE patent. The new technology will provide additional support for lateral loading, increase the bearing capacity and improve the structural integrity
