Focus on innovation: GRILLO as part of the DURALINK project
GRILLO is part of the DURALINK project, which aims to optimize steel welds and corrosion protection to improve the durability and cost efficiency of offshore wind turbines.
For us at GRILLO, innovation is the key to long-term success and actively shaping the future of the industry. We are therefore delighted that our CoE is currently working on the EU-funded DURALINK project. With this project, GRILLO is focusing on research and innovation in order to overcome the challenges of offshore wind energy in the long term.
What is the project about? DURALINK focuses on identifying optimization opportunities for offshore structures to reduce investment and operating costs by evaluating existing and improved welds and performing corrosion fatigue analyses in conjunction with cathodic protection. The project will develop novel thermal sprayed coatings to protect the substructure from marine corrosion.
The DURALINK project runs from July 2024 to December 2027 and is funded under the European Union’s Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS).
