Offshore wind is making a key contribution to achieving climate change targets around the world. Ingenious solutions are required to keep up with the rapid increase in scale in the offshore wind industry. But how do you keep up with all the ingenious solutions? Van Oord and DOT value sharing knowledge. Together they organise a course specifically designed for engineers who wish to be updated on how to design a Slip Joint connection for an offshore wind turbine. we can create innovative solutions that contribute to a better world for future generations.

Have you heard of the Slip Joint connection? This unique connection between offshore wind farm foundation elements, a monopile and a transition piece is a promising alternative to a grouted or bolted connection. Van Oord and DOT have developed a one-day course specifically for engineers who wish to understand how to design a Slip Joint connection for an offshore wind turbine. The first course will take place on 15 February 2023 at De Oude Bibliotheek in Delft, the Netherlands.

This dedicated course dives deeper into the most important aspects that come into play when designing a Slip Joint for offshore applications and will be taught by the engineers who were involved directly in its development. You will have the opportunity to design a monopile and transition piece Slip Joint interface, both submerged and in air, for FEED study purposes. The course consists of both theory and practice and will be hosted by DOB Academy.
