Wind tower sections are rolled from some of the most exacting structural plate in the market: wide, thick, dimension-critical plates that will be cold-rolled into cans and welded into towers standing against decades of fatigue loading. Plate quality decides weld quality — and weld quality decides tower life.
What the application demands
- Structural grades (S355 class and equivalents) with guaranteed impact toughness, often at sub-zero temperatures
- Tight thickness tolerance and flatness so can-rolling and fit-up stay true
- Clean steel with controlled sulphur for through-thickness integrity
- Full traceability plate-by-plate into the tower documentation
Applications
Onshore and offshore tower shells, flange rings and door frames, foundation embedment sections, and internals such as platforms and ladders within the tower.
