Solutions
The growing demand for renewable energy and cross-border power transmission is accelerating the development of offshore wind farms and interconnector projects. Reliable cable protection at landfall is critical. Our long-length PE pipe solutions are engineered to safely bring subsea power cables ashore – installed via open trenching or Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD).
We manufacture continuous PE pipes up to 2,500 meters in a single continuous length directly from the factory and out in the fjord – eliminating the need for multiple welds, increasing certainty of uniform performance and significantly reducing installation risk.
Key advantages:
Our solutions are engineered to perform under the most challenging landfall conditions. The pipes are designed to withstand high tensile forces and tight bending radii in HDD installations, ensuring reliability throughout the installation process. A smooth inner surface reduces cable pull-in forces and minimizes the risk of cable damage.
For high-performance cable systems, we offer high-temperature resin solutions capable of providing reliable performance at temperatures up to 100°C. In addition, flexible SDR classes provide adaptability to varying ground conditions and installation requirements. To further improve efficiency, pipes can be supplied with a pre-installed pulling head, reducing on-site handling and preparation work.
Efficiency is built into every stage of the process. By eliminating the need for on-site welding, all critical joints are completed in a controlled factory environment, ensuring consistent quality and reducing installation risk. Pipes are towed to the handover point, either in advance for on-site preparation, or programmed to be delivered just-in-time (DAP) to suit the installer, providing efficiencies in storage and handling and minimizing logistical complexity.
Our unique towing concept is a highly efficient method of delivery, massively reducing the need for traditional heavy vehicle transportation and packaging, contributing to both efficiency and sustainability. The solution is particularly well suited for sites with limited accessibility or space, as it requires little or no onshore storage. Fewer on-site operations also result in shorter installation times and improved project execution.
Sustainability and quality are integral to our production approach. All our pipes are manufactured from virgin, high-quality PE materials, ensuring long service life and reliable performance. Full traceability and strict quality control are maintained throughout the production process.
By reducing the need for transport and on-site handling, our long-length concept contributes to a lower environmental footprint. We also offer customization options, including colored materials and tailored specifications, allowing solutions to be adapted to specific project requirements without compromising quality.
Our long-length PE pipe solutions are ideally suited for offshore wind cable landfalls and cross-border power cables, where reliable cable ducting and protection is essential. They are particularly effective in HDD installations, where pipe lengths of up to 2500 metres without welds can be pulled through in one go to quickly and reliably line a drill hole in preparation for cable insertion. Cables can then be swiftly and reliably installed without the uncertainty involved with pipe welds and weld quality issues. The system is also widely used in subsea-to-onshore transitions, where durability, precision, and installation efficiency are critical.
Our long-length pipe concept reduces risk, simplifies installation, and ensures reliable cable protection – helping you deliver critical energy infrastructure on time and with confidence.
