As floating offshore wind (FOW) moves to centre stage in the global shift to renewable energy, anchoring these massive structures presents unique challenges. Unlike fixed-bottom turbines, floating turbines are in deep-water environments with varied seabed geologies, requiring anchors that are strong, adaptable, and environmentally-friendly.
Traditional anchors, like drag embedment types, often struggle with complex installations and heavy seabed disruption. Enter JAVELIN - an innovative anchoring system specifically engineered for floating offshore wind. JAVELIN offers a lighter, more adaptable solution that’s easy to install and significantly reduces project timelines and costs by allowing pre-installation before turbine deployment.
As the demand for renewable energy surges, next-gen anchoring systems like JAVELIN will be critical to meeting the scale and sustainability requirements of floating wind farms. Efficient, adaptable, and environmentally sound, these innovations are key to unlocking the full potential.
