Evaluation of Different Jacket Solutions

Support structures for offshore?application, especially in deeper waters, have?been identified by?many?sources as being able to make a?vital contribution to cost-effective?installations. Larger turbines, such as?the REpower 5M, demand significantly?stronger support structures than smaller turbines. REpower has gained experience?with jacket substructures for the?REpower 5M turbine?in recent projects. The?conclusions from this experience?will be?summarised in this article.
