Russian steelmaker NLMK has announced that its Denmark-based subsidiary NLMK DanSteel has supplied 200 mt of plates with special dimensions made from high-strength steel for the construction of experimental foundations for offshore wind turbines as part of the PISA (Pile Soil Analysis) Project, a European research and development program.

Assembly and testing of the foundations for offshore wind turbines manufactured with the use of thick plates supplied by DanSteel will take place in the current month of September. Experiments will be held in Dunkirk in France and in Cowden in the UK. It is planned that by the end of 2014 the results of the experiment will be used in order to develop an industrial prototype for the new type of offshore wind turbine foundations.
