Wind tower fabrication

Involved in the wind tower industry from the onset of the sector, ESAB partners worldwide with many manufacturers of towers, foundation piles and transition pieces for landbased, offshore and Arctic installation.

The company's specialist services range from the retrofitting of existing production facilities to turnkey equipment for greenfield installations. One new area of expertise is a complete station for welding circumferential joints in wind tower sections, designed to deliver all-round productivity. The installation features the following innovations that are said to lead to higher welding productivity: space saving ESAB telescopic column and boom; 1000kg bulk wire spools; and new moisture protected 1000kg BigBag for welding flux.
