RaKon delivers precise grouting for offshore wind

As offshore wind turbines continue to grow in size, grouting of piles and transition pieces has become the preferred option. This development increases grouting volume and installation time, and creates pressure on the industry to improve efficiency, lower costs and ensure consistent quality during installation.

RaKon performs complex grouting operations, using all types of mortar including Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC).

The company employs advanced, automated systems and sensors to offer high output capacity of up to 60 m³ per hour. These include:

• Real-time density monitoring to ensure correct grout quality and consistency
• Level and pressure sensors to prevent overfilling and over-pressurising surge tanks
• Non-contact level sensors to maintain the optimum level in mixing and holding tanks
• Data logging to supports continuous optimisation and quality documentation

RaKon assists its clients with the entire process from planning (material selection, procedures and equipment) to implementation.

Its market-leading Recirculating Jet Mixer (RJM) rig and expert team deliver precise, efficient grouting, significantly reducing installation time while providing real-time quality documentation.

The global offshore wind market is expanding quickly, and RaKon plans to triple turnover within three years.

RaKon delivers its services worldwide, with the North Sea as its home market. Target customers include major installation contractors such as Seaway7 and DEME.
