Accelerate the low carbon transformation.

Our patent-pending FRP monopile foundation expands the capabilities of traditional monopile technology to an unprecedented depth of 100 meters. It offers the stability of a fixed platform while incorporating proven floating and mooring technologies. This innovation achieves favorable economics, particularly in targeted water depths, setting a new industry standard for efficiency and performance.

Fully-restrained Platform Monopile Foundation 

MAIN COMPONENTS

  • Monopile with air-can (ac) in one piece

  • Transition piece (tp) with load ring

FIELD PROVEN MOORING SYSTEM

  • Taut moorings with pile anchors or

  • Taut mooring with suction piles

MOORING SYSTEM

  • Field proven installation methods

  • Existing vessels can install the foundation, tower and turbine 

  • Vessels work around the mooring system

The Top Mooring Assembly (TMA) is a patent-pending innovation designed to enhance stability by increasing stiffness against overturning moments, which can be attached either above or below the splash zone and integrates seamlessly with proven offshore technologies like mooring lines and pile anchors.

PATENT PENDING

Top Mooring Assembly (TMA) 

Engineering completed

Validation

  • Global motion for TMA requirements

  • MP and TP design (Empire Engineering)

  • Mooring design and install (InterMoor)

  • TMA design with machine drawings

  • DNV technology qualification (TQ) ongoing

  • Test unit fabrication ongoing (Panterra)

  • Testing at Mil Lab UiA Norway Nov 29*

The TMA can be installed either 10m above the surface or underwater to ensure long-term sustainability. 

Outside the Splash Zone

PLANNED

The FRPM provides more flexibility for manufacturing and installation. 

Seamless Install and Execution

Our patented technology can be installed by existing vessels and has been validated with partners up to 80m for a 15MW FRP Monopile. With a smaller diameter and shorter length, the FRP Monopile can enable more units installed per voyage. 

Become a Demonstration Partner

Get first hand insight on deep water monopile tech by partnering with us on on a full deployment or retrofit demonstration of the FRP Monopile. 

Install MP

  • Standard, but lighter and smaller => More MPs per voyage

  • Validated with the Les Alizés DP vessel up to 80m 

 

Install TP

  • Rigged with TMAs and messenger ropes for mooring install

 

Install mooring lines with new SOV / AH

  • Measure MP anchor lengths and adjust mooring lengths

  • Connect to anchor with H-link

  • Connect to MP by TMA

  • Pull-in and pre-tension moorings
