C1 Connections has secured an investment from Shift Invest and Dolfin Capital. The funds will be used to further grow the team, expand the business, and prepare for commercial scale delivery of C1 Wedge Connection fasteners for offshore wind farms.
According to the developer C1 Connections , the C1 Wedge Connection is a high-capacity connection that can be installed faster and safer than conventional bolted flange connections. It can be used in off- and onshore wind turbines, both in turbine towers and foundations. In August 2023 the technology received the A-level component certificate by DNV. The development of the C1 Wedge Connection started early 2017, and it was introduced in the first wind turbine in 2021. More implementations in wind turbines are planned for 2024.
