The seminar in Genoa on 1st of October 2018, is dedicated to the presentation of the European project Jabaco, which promotes the development of prefabricated steel jacket for offshore wind farms.
The aim of this project is to reduce offshore wind costs by incrementing prefabrication of substructures, via the development of prefabricated standard components, scalable in a significant range of environmental conditions.This lead to increased availability of jacket components, ready for massive fabrication and installation.
In this new concept, the structural components of the offshore jacket are designed as prefabricated subassemblies. Emphasis is given on developing solutions for performing the maximum number of welds in the factory, under controlled conditions. This ensures automation of fabrication, and consequently reduced oscillation in final behaviour potentially leading to higher reliability and lower safety factors to be applied.
The seminar will focus on the results of loads analysis at different windfarm locations:
The Jabaco Workshop is promoted by Steelmaster 2018, XXII Edition, organized by RINA with the support of ESTEP (European Steel Technology Platform), Federacciai and Ordine degli Ingegneri di Genova.
