From welding to wrapping: rethinking the offshore joint
The sound of welding hums steadily in the background at Smulders-HSM yard in Schiedam. Amid the sound of people working with steel, something profoundly different is being tested. Tim Kapteijn (Tree Composites) and Angeliki Christoforidou (TU Delft) discuss composite joints as a superior alternative to traditional welding of complex joints.
Back in 2021, in a previous episode called ‘It’s like connecting steel tubes with duct tape’, GROW-to-GO already provided insight into testing the composite joint technology. At that stage, the WrapNode project was executing several lab tests on joints. This time, David de Jager visits the site where WrapNode II is performing medium-scale tests on a section of a jacket structure.
