Pipes produced by a Ukrainian company have already been used in the construction of towers for future wind turbines
The Ukrainian industrial company Interpipe has joined another European renewable energy project—an offshore wind farm off the coast of the United Kingdom. This was announced in a company statement.
Construction of this wind farm, located in the North Sea, 69 km off the coast of Suffolk, is in its final stage—the installation of turbines. The project is scheduled to launch in late 2026 or early 2027, and the new offshore wind farm will generate at least 1.4 GWh of energy.
Interpipe pipes have already been used in the assembly of the foundations for the future wind turbines. The Ukrainian company’s products serve as a mooring system near the wind turbine foundations, where service personnel boats can dock. In total, nearly 2,500 tons of pipes of various sizes were manufactured and shipped for this project.
“The unique feature of the pipes for this order lies in their wall thickness and the need to adhere to geometric parameters, as well as in the requirements for the metal’s corrosion resistance in a marine environment. It is very important for us to meet the expectations of our customers and end-users,” noted Jorge Ruiz, Interpipe’s sales manager for European markets.
As a reminder, Interpipe participated in the Polish POLICE GT-1 project, aimed at assessing hydrogeological conditions in the city of Police. The results obtained may serve as the basis for the construction of a modern geothermal heating system. As part of the project, the Ukrainian company supplied 13 3/8” casing pipes for the intermediate section of the well, manufactured from high-strength L80 steel.
