IQIP starts delivering 219 Jacket Pile gripper for Taiwanese offshore wind project

News published on 3 October 2023

Following the successful delivery of 84 JPGs in 2020 for a Taiwanese wind project, IQIP is proud to announce a new order for 219 Jacket Pile Grippers. To support the global energy transition another wind farm in 2024 will be built at 50 km off the coast of Changhua in Taiwan. 73 Offshore Wind 3-legged jacket foundations will be installed, of which these JPGs form a substantial part.

The Jacket Pile Grippers systems are designed in accordance with the DNV-OS-J101 regulations for grouted connections. Aside from complying with DNV regulations, the IQIP Jacket Pile Grippers guarantee a temporary fixation, resulting in safe and high operability during offshore installation in an area known for its harsh conditions. The foundations must be able to withstand extreme Taiwanese circumstances such as cyclonic waves, heavy winds, and even earthquake loads.
