Entrion Wind has completed the design phase of its top mooring assembly (TMA) project and are pleased to announce to have engaged Panterra AS to manufacture the 1:2 TMA prototype and help oversee TMA testing.
Panterra is a leading fabricator in Norway with a proven track record of providing offshore equipment and mooring and tensioning solutions”, says Jon Høvik, Vice President of Engineering.
Pleased to be awarded the contract
– Panterra is very pleased to be awarded the ENTRION WIND contract for the fabrication of the TMA. We are sure we can provide a very high qualitative job and are committed for a successful testing of the device in our facilities;” as expressed by Preben Guttormsen, CEO of Panterra
Commitment to working closely
The FRP monopile extends the monopile and its favourable economics to 100-meter water depth. The design is based on a monopile and an offshore mooring system, both technologies with proven field experience. The only novel component is the TMA, connecting the mooring system and the monopile and designed with 500-ton pre-tensioning capacity.
Next steps: testing and offshore demo
Entrion Wind will test TMA prototype at the Mil-Lab at the university of Agder (AiU) in Grimstad, Norway at the end of this year and is planning an offshore demonstration project next year.
