Views and Cross-sections of the Designed Concrete Suction Anchor
We have submitted our final report, and this concludes our feasibility study on the applicability of a new concrete suction anchor for floating wind. In the course of this project, FWTC devised innovative solutions encompassing buoyancy chamber, spiral post-tensioning, and padeye connection, that are now all patent-pending. We believe that there is ample potential for further exploitation of these technologies that lower LCOE for floating offshore wind. We want to thank the entire team for their contributions, and particularly Ramboll and Cathie for helping FWTC with design basis, load assessments, and steel suction anchor designs. Please reach out to us to know more about how we can help your floating offshore wind project make use of these new technologies.
