Offshore wind

What offshore wind solutions does AIS provide?
- AIS provides engineered solutions including cable protection, buoyancy, bend management, grout seals and clamping systems for both fixed and floating offshore wind applications.
What is the difference between fixed and floating offshore wind cable protection?
- Fixed wind cables are typically exposed around the transition between the seabed and turbine foundation, while floating wind cables can experience longer sections of dynamic movement between the seabed and floating platform. This creates different requirements for bend protection, buoyancy and movement management.
How does AIS protect cables on fixed offshore wind foundations?
- Solutions such as NjordGuard CPS and NjordShield CPS are designed for critical transition points on fixed foundations, including monopile and J-Tube applications, helping protect cables from overbending, fatigue and abrasion during installation and operation.
How are dynamic cables protected on floating offshore wind platforms?
- Floating wind applications can require a combination of bend protection, NjordFloat buoyancy and cable support to manage dynamic movement and loads. Solutions include bend stiffeners, bend restrictors, distributed buoyancy modules and cable protection systems.
What is NjordFloat used for in floating offshore wind?
- NjordFloat provides controlled uplift along dynamic cables, helping create and maintain the required cable configuration while managing tension, movement and loads between the floating platform and seabed.
Can AIS provide solutions for different cable configurations?
- Yes. Solutions can be configured around cable dimensions, installation methods, environmental conditions, foundation type, required movement and other project-specific requirements.
Can offshore wind cable protection be installed during cable installation?
- Yes. Different systems are designed around particular installation methods and project requirements. For example, NjordGuard is designed to support installation and service-life protection at critical cable transition zones.
Does AIS support both new-build and existing offshore wind assets?
- Yes. Alongside protection and buoyancy solutions for new installations, AIS can provide solutions for existing infrastructure, including retrofit and repair applications such as the Cable Protection Repair System.

Cable protection and buoyancy for demanding offshore wind applications

Benefits

Supporting critical offshore wind infrastructure

Offshore wind projects place critical power cables and subsea infrastructure in demanding marine environments. We provide engineered cable protection, buoyancy, bend management and clamping solutions for both fixed and floating wind, helping manage movement, fatigue and other installation and operational challenges.

Protecting critical power cables

Protection solutions help manage bending, fatigue, abrasion and impact at critical cable transition points, supporting cable integrity and reliable power transmission throughout the project lifecycle.

Solutions for fixed and floating wind

From monopile and J-Tube applications to dynamic cables on floating foundations, our solutions are developed around the different loading, movement and installation requirements of each offshore wind configuration.

Engineered for long-term performance

Using proven materials and subsea engineering expertise, solutions are designed around project-specific environmental, installation and operational requirements to support reliable performance in challenging offshore conditions.
