7,000 Tons of Densit® Ducorit® S5R Grouts Formosa 2 Offshore Wind Farm

2024-11-11
● 47 wind turbines with a 376MW plan capacity in a 68.81km 2 area in the Strait of Taiwan are coming to fruition. The Formosa 2 Offshore Wind Farm, adjacent to the Formosa 1 Offshore Wind Farm, plays a significant role in Taiwan’s goal to generate 5.5GW in offshore wind energy by 2025. This large-scale wind power project is successfully underway, thanks to excellent cooperation and the Ultra-High Performance Cementitious (UHPC) grout, Densit Ducorit S5R.
● With crews situated 4-10km off the coast of northwest Taiwan in Miaoli County, the ITW Performance Polymers grouting specialists and Densit grout team assessed the logistics of grouting in 55 m deep waters with a 37°C / 98. 6°F ambient temperature – difficult conditions for many grouts to handle. Ducorit S5R grout maintained superior flowability in these conditions allowing all grouting material to pump and install smoothly and efficiently.
● “I am happy to share that we have now completed the last grouting operation on the Formosa 2 wind project. With this, we have completed 47 jackets and pumped approximately 7,000 tons of Ducorit S5R grout,” Stefan Lindby, Offshore Wind Project Manager. Approved by DNV-GL for installations up to 40 °C, the UHPC grout is the premium grouting material for warm weather wind installations.
● The 47 SG 8.0-167 DD offshore wind turbine units from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy will have a 167 m diameter rotor, 81.5 m long nacelles, and each turbine’s swept area will be 21,900 m 2. With the high success rate of Densit Ducorit S5R, the strong foundations of the Formosa 2 Offshore Wind Farm will support the expected 376MW supply of clean sourced electricity to around 380,000 homes.
