CONFloat

CONFloat™ is an innovative set of concrete floating substructures. These cost-efficient and robust solutions for floating wind turbines benefit from Aker Solutions' extensive experience in concrete foundation design and engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI).

Key features

Concept maturity based on 50 years of concrete foundation design and EPCI experience from the CONDEEP™ oil & gas projects
High local content potential offering benefits for regional supply chains and enabling global low-cost delivery models
Opportunity to enhance project sustainability goals through local supply of main materials, reducing transportation needs
A proven track record in harsh environments, with advantages such as low fatigue and minimum maintenance over the lifetime of the structures
Designed for efficient serial production with fewer structural elements and maximizing the use of continuous slipforming casting technique, shortening execution schedules and reducing costs
Low OPEX: the passive sealed ballast system enhances stability and keeps maintenance requirements to a minimum

CONFloat™ Omega

This circular floater concept with a moonpool in the center and an offset turbine and tower, is designed for harsh environments. The CONFloat-Omega has been tank tested, confirming the expected behaviors and performance.

CONFloat™ 7C

This proven seven-cell arrangement has a centralized turbine and tower. The CONFloat-7C is designed for reduced integration and completion draught, enabling a broader selection of execution locations and ports.
