Case Study: Ørsted achieves reliable corrosion protection for offshore wind components with Force Technology (SeaPlanner)

Ørsted ensures corrosion protection for 4 offshore components with Force Technology

Ørsted, a pioneer in offshore wind energy, required impartial third-party quality assurance to ensure the corrosion protection surface treatment for critical components at its Greater Changhua offshore substation in Taiwan met strict specifications. The challenge was to verify that suppliers correctly applied anti-corrosion coatings to maximize the components' durability in a highly corrosive marine environment and to avoid the significant cost and logistical challenges of future offshore repairs.

Force Technology provided the solution by delivering continuous, on-site quality assurance inspections throughout the suppliers' production and packing processes. Their impartial oversight ensured all technical requirements were met, which resulted in high-quality corrosion protection that supports the expected lifetime of the installations and fostered more constructive, fact-based dialogue between Ørsted and its suppliers.
