Let´s go for a carbon-neutral world within the global offshore industry


Wind technology is playing a leading role in transition to sustainable energy. It is also one of the fastest-growing, most competitive, and least harmful energy sources.

With a long-term history in subsea armouring solutions for electricity export cables, we see value creation potential in the renewable energy business. Based on deep market & customer insights from cable producers, designers, TSOs, and wind farm developers, we have gained a deep understanding of the challenges facing this market and how we could help to overcome them significantly.

Addressing these challenges we have developed a non-magnetic galvanized stainless steel armouring wire - Bezinox®.

Deep dive with the best

Meet Seagreen project - The largest offshore wind farm in Scotland

We have produced and delivered Bezinox®, the non-magnetic armouring solution to the largest Scottish offshore wind farm - Seagreen.

Our Bezinox® solution has been used as an armouring for 196 km of export cables, to deliver energy to 1,6 million households in Scotland. 

How can you benefit as an operator of an offshore wind farm?

  • Bezinox® will prevent failures and energy losses resulting in lower cost
  • your export cables will have a longer lifetime and high-reliability thanks to outstanding corrosion protection
  • your project will be more sustainable using non-magnetic, offering a lower CO2 footprint throughout the lifetime of your project
  • with our solution, you are also protecting the marine environment as our armouring wire reduces the surrounding temperature of the cable

Thanks to its non-magnetic features the energy losses are reduced significantly and therefore the energy is transmitted efficiently. 

Reliable mechanical protection

Reliable mechanical protection

The steel wire reinforcement (armouring) provides protection, enabling smooth installation and operation in rough conditions, as well as comfortable decommissioning.

Protection against impact and abrasion

Protection against impact and abrasion

Armouring protects the cable against impact and abrasion from the rocky environment, fishing gear, installation tools, small anchor, etc..

Well balanced physics

Well balanced physics

Cable armouring helps to handle static (weight) and dynamic forces ( e.g. vessel movements), torsion, and sidewall forces.

Increased life-time of the cable

Increased life-time of the cable

Efficient armouring can increase the life-time of the cable thus improving the performance, reliability, and safety of the cable core.

In the subsea cable industry, there isn´t the ONE ideal cable for ALL projects. But what if you could broaden your options?

 

As a solution provider, we do not only perform internal tests but go one step further to give you more tools for your successful projects.
