Foundation of offshore wind turbines

The foundation of offshore wind turbines is often a monopile drilled or hammered into the sea bed. In order to establish an efficient, strong and fatigue-resistant connection between the monopile and turbine tower, a Ducorit® grouted connection between the monopile and transition piece can be used.

Alternative solutions like a rock socketed-monopile foundation, where steel piles are grouted into a socket drilled into the rock, have also proved extremely effective with Ducorit®.

Advantages of Ducorit® grout connection

A major advantage of using the Densit® grouted connection is the possibility for accommodation of installation tolerances of the pile, early strength development, fatigue strength and other unique and extreme mechanical properties.

The properties of Ducorit® provide the highest possible safety without degeneration during the service life on the construction in question.
