Transition pieces
The transition piece (TP) is a tubular structure made out of high-grade offshore steel. The TP is the second part of a wind turbine generator (WTG), which is directly connected to the monopile foundation and the WTG tower. The most common connection of a TP is with flanges or a grouted connection. The production process begins with rolling the steel plates; after that, the rolled steel plates are welded together. In order to weld steel plates of this size together, Sif uses highly automated welding systems. As a contractor, Sif provides the primary steel components for the TP. For the secondary steel package, coating and final completion of the TP structure, Sif has excellent collaborative relationships with industry-respected partners and subcontractors.
