THE SCIENCE OF SEALING
A key reason for Roxtec’s selection lay in its ability to offer the highest standards of certified waterproof bulkhead seals. The cabling in the turbine was extensive, running its entire length through ten compartments inside the floating hull, with further cable sealing within the generator nacelles and over an exposed section linked to topside power, control and communication equipment.
EXPERIENCE AND SUPPORT The company was able to draw on its
many years’ experience in the marine and renewables sector to successfully deliver the project, providing support throughout the process from planning to installation and ongoing maintenance. Its seals are designed to be flexible with easy maintenance access and spare capacity for upgrades.
This was particularly important when the project was still in test phase with the potential for changes. Crucially, the sealing solutions have been designed
so changes can be carried out easily at low cost. This is in stark contrast to many traditional seals which can be onerous, costly and time-consuming to maintain and upgrade.
SAVING TIME
During the planning phase Scotrenewables designers were able to deploy the innovative Roxtec Transit Designer computer software. This software is a highly effective tool for engineers wanting to save time.
It is the most advanced of its kind on the market and enabled their team to produce detailed drawings, quickly and simply, of cable and pipe locations which makes the installation process faster.
